11.Festina lente.Hurry slowly.An oxymoronic phrase attributed to Augustus.Genius if you ask me.Equivalent to “more haste, less speed”,festina lente essentially encourages you to proceed quickly,but cautiously.12.Barba non facit philosophum.A beard doesn’t make one a philosopher.Want to sweep everyone off their feet with your erudite ways?Use this Latin phrase instead of its English equivalent:“clothes don’t make the man”.Or the similar cucullus non facit monachum (“the hood does not make the monk”).13.De gustibus non est disputandum.Of tastes there is nothing to be disputed.Different phrase,same story.You’re welcome.14.Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.I fear Greeks even if they bring gifts.Similar to equo ne credite (“do not trust the horse”).The phrase belongs to Laocoön when he supposedly warned his fellow Trojans against accepting the wooden horse from the Greeks.Nowadays,this expression can be used figuratively between friends.15.Dulce est desipere in loco.It is sweet on occasion to play the fool./It is pleasant to relax once in a while.By Horace in ‘Odes’.Criminally underused genius Latin phrase.I trust you shall change this.16.Audentes fortuna iuvat.Fortune favors the bold.Supposedly Pliny the Elder’s last words before leaving the docks at Pompeii to rescue his friend Pomponianus from the eruption of Vesuvius in 79.The phrase also appears in Virgil’s Aeneid.17.Ita vero.Thus indeed.Funny thing about Romans.Apparently,they had no word for ‘yes’,so they went with ita vero instead.18.Lupus in fabula.The wolf in the story.The Latin equivalent of “speak of the devil”.When you speak of someone and they suddenly appear,almost as if you were summoning them,this proverb is perfect.19.Memento vivere.Remember to live.We all heard about memento mori (“remember that you [have to] die”),but apparently a more optimistic view over life also existed.20.Risus abundat in ore stultorum.Laughter is abundant in the mouth of fools.Similar to per risum multum poteris cognoscere stultum (“by excessive laughter one can recognize the fool”).Do you have that one friend who laughs at their own jokes even before saying them?If yes,then this saying is for them.Only if they are not easily offended,of course.21.Surdo oppedere.To belch before the deaf.You gotta love the Latin language.After learning of this phrase’s existence,I no longer regarded my attempt to learn as many Latin phrases as possible as futile.If it wasn’t obvious enough, surdo oppedere refers to a useless action.22.Aut Caesar aut nihil.Either Caesar or nothing.Or “all or nothing”.This was the personal motto of the infamous Italian cardinal Cesare Borgia.Nowadays,the expression can be used to denote the absolute aspiration to be the best.23.Mortuum flagellas.You are flogging a dead man.Have you ever criticized someone who did not feel remorse over their actions?This phrase is exactly about that but said in a much more creative and interesting way.Gotta remember this one.1.Si vis amari ama.If you want to be loved,love.Written by Seneca in the sixth of his letters to Lucilius.The phrase has a double interpretation:‘only loving souls can inspire love’ and ‘you cannot ask for love from those you do not love yourself’.2.Amor vincit omnia.Love conquers all.Famously attributed to the Latin poet Virgil,this popular Latin phrase is also the title of a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Caravaggio.3.Ubi amor,ibi dolor.Where (there is) love,there (is) pain.No matter how beautiful, love can also hurt.This expression refers to the pain love can inflict upon one’s soul especially if we’re talking about unrequited love.4.Amor et melle et felle est fecundissimus.Love is rich with both honey and venom.It seems that love was no different in Ancient Rome.This quote appeared in Titus Maccius Plautus’ play ‘Cistellaria’.5.Hei mihi!Quod nullis amor est medicabilis herbis.Oh me!Love can not be cured by herbs.From Ovid’s ‘Metamorphoses’.We know your pain,Ovid.#1.Carpe Diem.Seize the day.Okay,let’s start with an
