Ancient And Modern Quotes

“In times past it was the custome of the greatest Monarchies, to bestow faines Deities upon their mortall Emperours: Of famous Cities to erect Statues to their well deserving Senatours; Of good children to raise Monuments in Honour of their Parents. Yet whatsoever Monarchies have foolishly attempted, Cities have Dedicated, Children have erected, their Memories, times, place, and (welny) names are extinguished. If Antiquity performed any thing, it is either blastedby flatterie, or concealed by feare.”
― Thomas Lodge
