Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning.
Giotto di Bondone
Eine Welt zwar bist du, o Rom, doch ohne die Liebe wäre die Welt nicht die Welt, wäre denn Rom auch nicht Rom.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.
Augustus
O wie fühl´ ich mich in Rom so froh! Gedenk´ ich der Zeiten, Da mich ein graulicher Tag hinten im Norden umfing, …
Johann W. von Goethe
I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome.
Julius Caesar
Rom ist eine Welt, und man braucht Jahre, um sich nur erst drinnen gewahr zu werden. Wie glücklich find´ ich die Reisenden, die sehen und gehen.
Johann W. von Goethe
Rome - the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.
George Eliot
Aber Rom in allem seinen Glanze ist ein Grab nur der Vergangenheit.
Friedrich Schiller
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli
In Rom fließen alle Sünden und Laster zusammen, um verherrlicht zu werden.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus
I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, 'There's no place like New York. It's the most exciting city in the world now. That's the way it is. That's it.'
Robert De Niro
Rom, wenn, gebläht von Glück, du mit drei Würfeln doch nicht neunzehn Augen werfen wolltest!
Heinrich von Kleist
When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.
Saint Ambrose
Rom wollte herrschen. Als seine Legionen gefallen waren, schickte es Dogmen in die Provinzen.
Heinrich Heine
What has history said of eminence without honor, wealth without wisdom, power and possessions without principle? The answer is reiterated in the overthrow of the mightiest empires of ancient times. Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome! The four successive, universal powers of the past. What and where are they?
Orson F. Whitney
Because of my job, I get a lot of opportunity to grab a few days here and there in many cool cities for press commitments, magazine shoots and premieres - Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, New York, Berlin. I always try to get to a gallery or museum if there's time.
Natalie Dormer
Egypt gave birth to what later would become known as 'Western Civilization,' long before the greatness of Greece and Rome.
John Henrik Clarke
Ancient Rome was as confident of the immutability of its world and the continual expansion and improvement of the human lot as we are today.
Arthur Erickson
Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.
Muhammad Ali
Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time.
Richard Meier
Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.
Robert De Niro
Rome was not built in one day.
John Heywood
There's only one reason to be crucified under the Roman Empire, and that is for treason or sedition. Crucifixion, we have to understand, was not actually a form of capital punishment for Rome. In fact, it was often the case that the criminal would be killed first and then crucified.
Reza Aslan
Every one soon or late comes round by Rome.
Robert Browning
Homer, Hesiod, Pythagoras, Plato, and Cicero, just to name a few, all lived in pagan societies. Some of the greatest political and military leaders of all time, such as Alexander the Great, Pericles of Athens, Hannibal of Carthage, and Julius Caesar of Rome, were all pagans, or else living in a pagan society.
Brendan Myers
No white group has founded a major religion on this planet. The major religious were started in the Orient and the Middle East, not in Greece and Rome. I always knew you racists didn't have a prayer.
Jane Elliot
Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.
Livy
There were dozens of people who walked through the Holy Land claiming to be the Messiah, curing the sick, exorcising demons, challenging Rome, gathering followers. In a way, there's nothing unique about what Jesus did. In fact, many of these so-called false Messiahs we know by name.
Reza Aslan
When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome.
Miguel de Cervantes
Art, Thou
My dad named me after Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general who attacked Rome. But nobody knows about him.
Hannibal Buress
When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville.
Flannery O'Connor
The rise of the presidency began with the Louisiana Purchase, which in 1803 doubled the land mass of the United States. History taught the framers that, just as Rome changed from republic to empire with conquest of new lands, territorial acquisition would lead to the centralization of political power.
