Jupiter quotes
“The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.”
in a letter to John Adams (4/11/1823)
Thomas Jefferson(American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826)
“Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet.”
Jack Handy(American Writer and cast member of Saturday Night Live from 1991-2003. Famous for his Deep Thoughts comedy sketches.)
“O that Jupiter would but bring back to me the years that have passed!”
Virgil (Ancient Roman Latin Poet and Author of the epic, Aeneid. 70 BC-19 BC)
“Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason /you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.”
Desiderius Erasmus (Dutch Priest, Humanist and Editor of the New Testament, 1469-1536)
.
“Gifts, believe me, captivate both men and Gods, Jupiter himself was won over and appeased by gifts.”
Ovid (Ancient Roman classical Poet and Author of Metamorphoses, 43 BC-17)
“BASILISK, n. The cockatrice. A sort of serpent hatched form the egg of a cock. The basilisk had a bad eye, and its glance was fatal. Many infidels deny this creature's existence, but Semprello Aurator saw and handled one that had been blinded by lightning as a punishment for having fatally gazed on a lady of rank whom Jupiter loved. Juno afterward restored the reptile's sight and hid it in a cave. Nothing is so well attested by the ancients as the existence of the basilisk, but the cocks have stopped laying.”
Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
“ZEUS, n. The chief of Grecian gods, adored by the Romans as Jupiter and by the modern Americans as God, Gold, Mob and Dog. Some explorers who have touched upon the shores of America, and one who professes to have penetrated a considerable distance to the interior, have thought that these four names stand for as many distinct deities, but in his monumental work on Surviving Faiths, Frumpp insists that the natives are monotheists, each having no other god than himself, whom he worships under many sacred names.”
Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)
“Laodameia died; Helen died; Leda, the beloved of Jupiter, went before.”
Walter Savage Landor (English Writer best remembered for Imaginary Conversations, prose dialogues between historical personages. 1775-1864)
“Opportunity has hair in front; behind she is bald; if you seize her by the forelock, you may hold her, but, if suffered to escape, not Jupiter himself can catch her again”
Latin Proverb
“And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? / Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.”
Bible
