Martial Quotes


A Latin poet from Hispania best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan.
Marcus Valerius Martialis (known in English as Martial) (March 1, between 38 and 41 AD - between 102 and 104 AD), was a Latin poet from Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula) best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In these short, witty poems he cheerfully satirises city life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances, and romanticises his provincial upbringing. He wrote a total of 1,561, of which 1,235 are in elegiac couplets. He is considered to be the creator of the modern epigram.

Here are some famous quotes by Martial.




Gifts are hooks.

Be content with what you are and wish not change; not dread your last day not long for it.

You do not publish your own verses Laelius; you criticise mine. Pray cease to criticise mine or else publish your own.

Be satisfied and pleased with what thou art Act cheerfully and well thy allotted part; Enjoy the present hour be thankful for the past And neither fear nor wish the approaches of the last.
