“What is the purpose of your bloodline, Ponticus? What is the purpose of being valued by your pure blood, of displaying the painted portraits of your ancestors; that of an Aemilianus standing in his chariot; a partially crumbled Curius; a Corvinus who has lost a shoulder, or a Galba that is missing ear and nose?
Of what value is it if you boast of a Fabius in your lengthy family tree, and to then trace your kinship through many branches filled with Rulers and Masters of the Horse, if in presence of the Lepidi you live an Evil life?
What is the value of all your busts of warriors when you gamble all night long before your Numantine ancestors and begin your sleep with the rise of Venus, at an hour when our Generals of old would be moving their standards and their camps?
How can a Fabius born in the home of Hercules take pride in the title Allobrogicus and in the Great Altar, when he himself is greedy and empty-headed and more effeminate than the soft fleece of a Euganean lamb?
What pride can he have when his loins, rubbed smooth by Catanian pumice, throw shame on his ancestors? Or if, as a dealer of poisons, he dishonors his unhappy race with a statue of himself that deserves to be shattered into broken pieces?
Though you may deck your halls from end to end with the waxen images of your ancestors, the Truth is that Virtue is the one and only True Nobility.”
- Juvenal, writing in his “Satires” on the most ancient Spiritual Truth that says that Nobility of Race and Blood means nothing without Nobility of Character & Deed

“Though you may deck your halls from end to end with the waxen images of your ancestors, the Truth is that Virtue is the one and only True Nobility.
In morality be a Cossos, a Paulus or Drusus; put your character first before the rows of statues of your ancestors, and let it take precedence when you are Consul.
You owe me first, before all things, the Virtues of the Soul; prove yourself stainless in life, as one who holds fast to The Right both in word and deed, and I shall acknowledge you as a True Noble; and all shall hail to you, Gaetulicus, or you, Silanus, or you from whatever bloodline you come. If you have proved yourself a rare and illustrious citizen worthy of welcome by a rejoicing country, we shall cheer as Egypt when Osiris has been found.
For how can one be called "Noble" when he is unworthy of his race, how can one be called “Noble” because of his blood and nothing else?”
- Juvenal, writing in his “Satires” on the most ancient Spiritual Truth that says that Nobility of Blood means nothing without Nobility of Character & Deed
