“Who were the great thinkers of Rome? Lucretius first and finest of all. Yet, because his philosophy was not his own, but with modest candor ascribed to Epicurus, and because his influence upon his own people and upon posterity was esoteric and sporadic, touching only the topmost minds, we shall have to let him stand outside our circle [of the 10 greatest minds of all time].”

Will Durant 1885 – 1981 CE
Philosophy apostle and popularizer of history's lessons
from Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time, 1968
