This week's Latin quote is a particular favorite of mine from the poet Horace:

"Miraris, cm argento post omnia ponas, si nemo praestet quem non merearis amorem?" ("Do you marvel that no one offers the love you have not earned when you place silver above all else?")

In light of the abundance of political satire that's been surfacing lately, this Latin quote by the French poet Jean-Baptiste de Santeul seems particularly fitting:

"Castigat ridendo mores." ("One corrects customs by laughing.")

Latin is truly timeless!

The Latin quote for this week is more of a fun fact:

Mare nostrum (our sea) was the name Romans used for the Mediterranean Sea. But did you know that Benito Mussolini revived the term for use in propaganda?

Language is powerful; use it wisely!

Happy Valentine's Day, amici! On the day of love, heed these words of the great Seneca:

"Si vis amari, ama." (If you want to be loved, love.)

As classicists, we all know how our studies of the Greek and Roman world connect us to other cultures. In the spirit of this, the European Union's motto was translated into an offical Latin version in 2000:

"In varietate concordia" ("United in diversity")

Go forth in unity this week!

As you make your way through a frozen Philadelphia, remember this advice found in Ovid's Metamorphoses:

"medio tutissimus ibis" ("you will go safest in the middle").

Keep that in mind for those snowy wet sidewalks!

Do you like coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and gingerbread? Do you have a dollar? Then come on down to our first coffee table of semester, located in the lobby of Anderson Hall! We're here until 2 PM!

Need a Latin quote to describe the weather today? Of course you do! Luckily, Cicero can help us all out in our Latin small talk:

"Erat hiems summa." (It was the height of winter)

Stay warm, Latinates!

Felix sit annus novus! A new semester is upon us, so let's remember the adage from Sir Francis Bacon (modern Latin! well, 1597,close enough)

"ipsa scientia potestas est." (Knowledge itself is power.)

Start strong, my friends!
