Arranged alphabetically, this compilation gathers sayings from Latin, Greek, French, German and English sources alike, giving each foreign line with an English rendering and its author. Ovid and Critias sit beside Jules Favre’s defiance of 1870, and the Rev. James Wood leaned deliberately toward modern writers whose wisdom, he felt, earlier collections had hardly quarried.
Ideal for writers hunting a Latin tag, or anyone who enjoys browsing two thousand years of compressed wisdom. Download the free EPUB.
