Another interesting quote Julius Caesar, this time dealing with the political.

Quote # 7

Quote # 9

Virgil, or  Publius Virgil Maro   (70 BC - 19 BC) is one of the greatest poet ancient Rome corresponding to the Augustan period.

Quote # 10

A shoe that is too large is able to stumble one, and when it is too small to pinch your feet. So it is with those who are not like them.

Or Horace  Quintus Horatius Flaccus  (65 BC - 8 BC), is the foremost Roman lyric poet contemporary to the Augustan period, which is engaging in both hexamer poems and soda iambic poetry. He was also an officer in the national army that was defeated at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC. But later he was offered amnesty by Octavian, and thus Horace became became speaker of the new regime (although he lost the estate of his father, to a colony of veterans).

Quote # 11

Another interesting quote from Horace, punishment brings us back to "delicate" balance that the poet himself had to be maintained in the post-civil war (late 1st century BC), when it came to political bias. However, he still managed to produce strong tendency for Horace individualistic independence.

Quote # 12

Young men hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.

Augustus (63 BC - 14 AD), born  Gaius Octavius , was the founder of the Roman Empire and its first emperor, who ruled until his death in 14 AD (extra he was also adopted heir Julius Caesar). Reign of stroke in August began what is known as  a Pax Romana  (Roman Peace), an extended period of almost two centuries, when the Roman kingdom is not disturbed by any instantaneous great conflict, regardless of the "regular" territorial expansion of the empire in regions like Egypt, Dalmatia, Pannonia, Germania and complete annexation of Hispania.

Quote # 13

Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that now he is overwhelmed by his own greatness.

Livius or  Livy  (59 BC - 17 AD) is perhaps the most oft-quoted Roman when it comes to their history. This is mainly because of the monumental work of the Roman historian  Ab Is Urbe Condita Libri (Books of the founding of the city), which covers the "dark ages" before the traditional foundation of Rome in 753 BC to modern times Livy him. Glory Livy during the second half of his life often presented by an anecdote, when a man from Cadiz (port in southwestern Spain) are said to have traveled all the way to Rome to meet only the author then after back his desire to his homeland without delay.

Quote # 14

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning end is.

Old Seneca or  Marcus Annaeus Seneca  (54 BC - 39 AD), was a Roman orator and writer who hailed from a distant Cordoba, Hispania. Born into a wealthy equestrian family, Seneca (later in life) lived at a crucial time period of the early Roman Empire, which covers the period of three emperors - Augustus, Tiberius and Caligula.

Quote # 15

There is no such thing as pure pleasure; some anxiety always goes with it.

Ovid or  Publius Ovid Naso  (BC '43 - '17) was a contemporary Roman poet of the older Virgil and Horace, and together these three form the "Holy Trinity" of Latin canonical literature in the Augustan period . For this purpose, Ovid is mostly known mythological his story - of  Metamorphosis , along with collections of love poetry as  Amores  ( "Love Affairs") and  the Ars Amatoria  ( "Art of Love"). In a strange turn of events, the poet was later exiled to a remote province on the Black Sea itself Augustus. Historians still speculate about the numerous possible causes, with very Ovid simply alluding to the episode by saying  Carmen et error ", a poem and a mistake."

Quote # 16

Let's say is not always what you know, but always know what you think.

Claudius and  Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus  (10 BC - '54) was a Roman Emperor who ruled 41-54 AD, and was the first ruler of Rome born outside Italy. Interestingly, despite being a little dull and limp, Claudius proved that it is capable administrator and patron of projects for public works. His reign also saw a concerted attempt to conquer the UK and the emperor was known to have fought with actual killer whales trapped in the harbor Ostia (as mentioned by Pliny the Elder)!

Quote # 17

The first and greatest punishment for the sinner's conscience of sin.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, known as Seneca junior (5 BC - 65 AD) was a Roman Stoic philosopher and playwright, who also tried his hand at humor.

Or Lukan  's Marcus Annaeus Lucanus  (39 AD - 65 AD) is another Roman literary icon of Cordoba (in fact he was the nephew of Seneca Jr.), who is known for his speed of composition in verse. Unfortunately, he also met his untimely death at the early age of 25 when he was forced to commit suicide (like his uncle) during the conspiracy of Piso kill Nero.

Quote # 20

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all other men, but still set a low value on their own opinions of himself than the opinions of others.

Marcus Aurelius or  Marcus Aurelius Antoninus August  (121 AD - 180 AD) was a Roman Emperor 161-180 AD, which is considered as the last of the Five Good Emperors.

Quote # 21

All you hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Quote # 23

We find that the Romans owed the conquest of the world for no other reason than continuous training military, the exact observance of discipline in their camps and tireless cultivation of other arts of war.

Vegetius or  Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus  (around 4th century AD) is the most famous Roman military historian from the late fourth century, although not much is known about his life. However, in the opening passage of his brilliant work  Epitoma ray Militaris  (also known as  the De Re Militari ), Vegetius confirms his religion as Christianity. Incredibly enough, but the author is also known (to some degree) for his other work  Digesta Mulomedicinae the Artis , which is a comprehensive treatise of Veterinary Medicine.

Quote # 24

Quote # 25
