Friday's Five: Latin Sayings

It has been a couple of weeks since I’ve done a Friday’s Five.

I absolutely adore Latin.  Short, simple sentences with so much meaning.  Here are five of my favorites.

  • Ad astra per aspera – To the stars through difficulty
  • Veni, vidi, vici - I came, I saw, I conquered.
  • Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero - Seize the day, trust as little as possible in tomorrow.
  • Nullius in verba - (Rely) on the words of no one.
  • Intelligenti pauca - Few words suffice for he who understands

And Bonus phrase:

Helluo librorum - A glutton for books. (bookworm)
