Richard Sapir Quotes
We Are All The Children Of Rome, Without Knowing It. Our Months Are Called After Roman Emperors Or Gods, Our Summer Is July And August, Named After Julius Caesar And Augustus Caesar. When You People Scream Fascist At Us, You Are Referring To The Rods Of Authority Called Fasces By The Romans. The Idea Of Law Written Down And To Be Observed Equally Comes To Us From The Romans, And Our Alphabet Comes To Us Exactly From The Roman. From Plumbing To The Idea That Surrounding Someone In Battle Gives Victory, Rome Gave Them To Us. Rome Is Our Common, Civilized Roots, So Deep That Many Of Us In The West Do Not Even Realize It Unless We Are Educated To It. Rome Is Our Intellectual Father, And We Have Been Living Off Its Remnants For Two Thousand Years.
