Juvenal quotes - page 2
Juvenal was a Roman poet famous for his biting satires on Roman society. His works sharply criticized corruption, decadence, and the moral decay of his time. He remains one of the most influential satirists in Western literature. Here are 46 of his quotes:
The question is not put how far extends
His piety, but what he yearly spends;
Quick, to the business; how he lives and eats;
How largely gives; how splendidly he treats;
How many thousand acres feed his sheep;
What are his rents; what servants does he keep?
The account is soon cast up; the judges rate
Our credit in the court by our estate.
