Famous quotes containing the word valerius:

    “The night discharged of all care
    Where wine may bear no sovereignty;
    The chaste wife wise, without debate;
    Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
    Contented with thine own estate;
    Neither wish death, nor fear his might.”
    —Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialus)
