Rome was not built in one day.

Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time.

I had rather be first in a village than second at Rome.

I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.

I recently had a few days off while shooting a movie in Budapest, so I took a cab from the set to the airport, looked at the departure board, and decided where I wanted to go right then and there. I spent four days in Rome and didn't tell anyone I was going.

I always thought 'Rome' would change things for me, that people would finally understand what I do.

There hasn't been a day in my life since I started Latin in ninth grade that I haven't benefited by the lives of the ancients.

That Rome was comparatively great and wealthy is certain.
