Favourite Latin Quotes!

Recommended Posts

In hoc signo vinces - the phrase that marked the beginning of Rome's death. But that is topic for another thread.

 

My personal favorite is: Id est, quod est. Therein sums up my entire philosophy. (Incidentally, I made it up as well.)

In Vino Veritas

 

The truth in wine. That's a good one.

 

In wine there is truth, a statement to the effect of 'a drunk person always tells the truth' :)

Romae

Romane

Age

 

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

 

Literally:

 

At Rome, Romanly do.

 

Eight words in English, but three words in Latin. That's one of the beauties of the Latin Language.

 

Here's another one of my favorites often found on tombstones:

 

Hodie mihi, cras tibi.

 

"Today to me, tomorrow to you."
