Children Quote by Henry David Thoreau
“The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every State which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the Northern forests who were.”
![“The Romans did not see [the tale of Romulus, Remus and the she-wolf] as a charming story; they meant to show that they had imbibed wolfish appetites and ferocity with their mother's milk.” quote by Terry Jones](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f68/terry-jones-16451_appetite_the-romans-did-not-see-the-tale-of-romul_1233418.jpg)
