There's thunder even on the loftiest peaks.

— Gaius Maecenas

Ipsa enim altitudo attonat summa.

More quotes by Gaius Maecenas

I want no tomb; for Nature doth provide
For outcast bodies burial.

Lucentes, mea vita, nec smaragdos,
beryllos neque, Flacce mi, nitentes
percandida margarita quaero
nec quos Tunnica lima perpolivit
anellos nec iaspios lapillos.

Fashion me with a palsied hand,
Weak of foot, and a cripple;
Build upon me a crook-backed hump;
Shake my teeth till they rattle;
All is well, if my life remains.
Save, oh, save it, I pray you,
Though I sit on the piercing cross!
