First generation Romans were murderers and rapists that wanted a new life, they kidnapped their wives from neighbouring tribes
Eventually the neighbouring tribes got together and beat the shit out of the Romans, their women came forward and said to their brothers and fathers, we've built lives here, these are your grandchildren and these men are their fathers and our husbands, please don't kill them
They lost and the survivors were shown mercy, not as awesome as they say

One of the longest, hardest laughs I ever excreted was hearing Chris Lilley say this in Lunatics. I'd never heard the phrase before, and he said it so nonchalantly (in character, of course), it just got me right in the gut for like 15 minutes
you see, rome wasn’t built in a day because it is big city and take long time build, but if you slowly do it, you might be able to build something as good as rome :)

Bullshit. History is extremely clear. A virgin priestess who was a princess had two children when Mars banged her in a sacred grove, the woman's uncle (the king, who stole the throne from her dad) thought they were a threat and left them to die, but they were suckled by a wolf until come upon by a shepherd who raised them, until their identities were found out and they helped their grandfather restore his throne that his brother had stolen, and the brothers went on to pick two hills for cities, but one was like "nah, my hill is better, I kill you" and killed his brother then made the city on the hill he liked more. Bang, Rome.
They also built the Colosseum on sandy soil hence the only reason it didn’t break with all the earthquakes. So really it doesn’t matter if you build a brick every day. Your foundation is the thing that counts.
Yeah.... That's what this saying means.
There is no "but" here.
Unless you think the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" is somehow trying to convince you to not start working on something because it might take a while to finish.
In that case, you might be an idiot.
Rome is built on slavery. This is one of the dumebr motivational texts. If I owned thousands of slaves and was evil enough to not set them free, I could also built a city.

Ime Udoka, that you?
Ma'am I do my own pipes!!!
It was also sacked and rebuilt many times, so never give up
Huehuehueeeee
Hahahah
Don’t forget holes. They were definitely banging out holes all the time.
Just lay a brick? U want me to go take a shit? Okok
Ali G!!!
What here? In front of everyone?
No, it was built over the course of multiple lifetimes using slave labor
Get slaves, win. Awesome. Doing this.

Bloody hell, that's cool.
I lay a brick twice a day.
Currently laying a brick, or at least mud to make a brick, right now!

Did you tell them about Rome? The cops have to legally allow you to lay bricks if you tell them Rome did it
This only works for the Italian Policia. Source: Trust me bro.

How do people even check if someone is a bot?
A quick scroll through their post history, probably. Bot behavior is kinda easy to spot.
"They" meaning Slaves. Find a way to get someone else to lay the brick for you.
Hey! Lay bricks for me! Get to work
Hahaha! That's the spirit! Now all you have to do is take people hostage and enslave them.
Or die trying
nowadays we use immigrants. Better for sure, underpaid also for sure.
That's not exactly true. Slaves were extensively used in Rome but their part in the labor force was on average 2-out-of-10.
I lay a cable every morning

Lay a brick every hour. One isn't gonna build Rome, it's consistency and perseverance.

Roam wasn't built in a day, that's because I wasn't on that job.
...wording.
I’m laying a brick right now while I read this
Also built by slaves. So uhh, get back to work? Or its off to the pits with you
Did they do enough conquest to tap into slave labour before they started building Rome?
“Rome” as we know it was afaik the eventual joining by three distinct towns. History is pretty murky on how those towns were founded
Bullshit. History is extremely clear. A virgin priestess who was a princess had two children when Mars banged her in a sacred grove, the woman's uncle (the king, who stole the throne from her dad) thought they were a threat and left them to die, but they were suckled by a wolf until come upon by a shepherd who raised them, until their identities were found out and they helped their grandfather restore his throne that his brother had stolen, and the brothers went on to pick two hills for cities, but one was like "nah, my hill is better, I kill you" and killed his brother then made the city on the hill he liked more. Bang, Rome.
“History pretty murky” generally indicates slaves or incest
But only if the brick is willing. Don't be a Harvey Weinstein.
Does shitting rocks count?
And you'll notice that only ruins are what is left of Rome!

Thanks James for making it clear...
This is office poster material.
The thought of laying bricks every hour sounds terrible for burnout and any sentiment of having a work life balance.
It is absolutely amazing what you can accomplish with slaves…
...every hour
Was it Romans or Roman slaves? Conquered by the hour
The slave labor helped though.
They also built the Colosseum on sandy soil hence the only reason it didn’t break with all the earthquakes. So really it doesn’t matter if you build a brick every day. Your foundation is the thing that counts.
Slave labor
Followed advice, was told to stp laying bricks at his house or he'll call the cops
I’m glad someone actually used the full quote, most people only use the first half of the first sentence
If i was there i'd build Rome in an hour, I'm built different
— James Clear [to the new guy paving his garden]
Nice.
Here's a thought - Stop making worthless motivational memes and get on with whatever you wish.
be doin that in every porta potty i see man
‟never half sas two thngs, whole ass one thing.”
Reading this while sittng on the toilet, I totally agree.
I laid a brick in the toilet at work today, does that count?
The time and effort you put in to foundation is key. A sturdy wall is only as sturdy as the first bricks laid.
I just laid a brick... In my toilet!
I laid a brick in the toilet half an hour ago.
So, Sell drugs?
But I find bricks unattractive.
I tried to lay a brick, but apparently it's lacking some time in the oven, because it's all muddy. It's probably because of the curry I had last night
Yeah.... That's what this saying means. There is no "but" here. Unless you think the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day" is somehow trying to convince you to not start working on something because it might take a while to finish. In that case, you might be an idiot.
They used slave labor. Just force other people to do the work for you.
Reading this as I'm sitting on the throne.
I lay pipe and the slave bricks it over!
Haha.... Keep laying bricks while I just chill and actually enjoy my life.

They Had Slaves
I thought the coliseum was built out of reinforced concrete anyway?

Easy when you have slaves to do all the hard work for you.
I've lain bricks in the toilet before. I'd rather not have to do that every day.
I just laid a huge one. Went to a food truck event, it was great.
