Famous Latin sayings. Quotes in Latin with translation. See what is "Cui prodest?" in other dictionaries

There are moments in a conversation when ordinary words are no longer enough, or they seem inconspicuous in front of the deep meaning that you want to convey, and then winged sayings come to the rescue - the Latin ones are the most significant in terms of power of thought and brevity.

alive!

A great many words and phrases in different languages ​​of the world are borrowed from Latin. They are so deeply rooted that they are used all the time.

For example, the well-known aqua (water), alibi (proof of innocence), index (index), veto (prohibition), persona non grata (a person who was not wanted to be seen and was not expected), alter ego (my second self), alma mater (mother-nurse), capre diem (seize the moment), as well as the well-known postscript (P.S.), used as a postscript to the main text, and a priori (relying on experience and faith).

Based on the frequency of use of these words, it is too early to say that the Latin language has long died. He will live in Latin sayings, words and aphorisms for a long time.

The most famous sayings

A small list of the most popular works on history known to many fans and philosophical conversations over a cup of tea. Many of them are almost similar in frequency of use:

Dum spiro, spero. - While I breathe I hope. This phrase first appears in Cicero’s Letters and also in Seneca.

De mortus out bene, out nihil. - It’s good about the dead, or nothing. It is believed that Chilo used this phrase as early as the fourth century BC.

Vox populi, vox Dia. - The voice of the people is the voice of God. A phrase heard in Hesiod’s poem, but for some reason it is attributed to the historian William of Malmesbury, which is completely wrong. In the modern world, the movie “V for Vendetta” brought fame to this saying.

Memento mori. - Memento Mori. This expression was once used as a greeting by Trapist monks.

Note bene! - A call to pay attention. Often written in the margins of the texts of great philosophers.

Oh tempora, oh mores! - Oh times, oh morals. from Cicero's Oration against Catiline.

About this contra. - Pros and cons.

In bono veritas. - The truth is good.

Volens, nolens. - Willy-nilly. Can also be translated as “whether you like it or not”

The truth is in the wine

One of the most famous Latin sayings sounds like “in vino veritas”, in which the truth is veritas, in vino - the wine itself. This is a favorite expression of people who often drink a glass, in such a cunning way they justify their craving for alcohol. The authorship is attributed to the Roman writer Pliny the Elder, who died in the eruption of Vesuvius. At the same time, his authentic version sounds somewhat different: “Truth has drowned in wine more than once,” and the subtext is that a drunk person is always more truthful than a sober one. The great thinker was often quoted in his works by the poet Blok (in the poem “Stranger”), the writer Dostoevsky in the novel “Teenager” and some other authors. Some historians claim that the authorship of this Latin proverb belongs to a completely different person, the Greek poet Alcaeus. There is also a similar Russian proverb: “What a sober man has on his mind, a drunk man has on his tongue.”

Quotes from the Bible translated from Latin into Russian

Many phraseological units used today are drawn from the greatest book of the world and are grains of great wisdom that pass from century to century.

He who does not work does not eat (from 2nd Paul). Russian analogue: he who does not work does not eat. The meaning and sound are almost identical.

Let this cup pass from me. - This is taken from the Gospel of Matthew. And from the same source - The student is not higher than his teacher.

Remember that you are dust. - Taken from the book of Genesis, this phrase reminds everyone who is proud of their greatness that all people are made from the same “dough.”

The abyss calls the abyss (Psalter.) The phrase in Russian has an analogue: trouble does not come alone.

Do what you plan (Gospel of John). - These are the words spoken by Jesus to Judas before his betrayal.

Phrases for every day

Latin sayings with transcription in Russian (for easier reading and memorization) can be used in ordinary conversation, decorating your speech with wise aphorisms, giving it special poignancy and uniqueness. Many of them are also familiar to most:

Diez diem dotset. - Every previous day teaches a new one. Authorship is attributed to someone who lived in the first century BC.

Look for who benefits

Quid bono and quid prodest. - The words of the Roman consul, who was often quoted by Cicero, who in turn is universally quoted by detectives in modern films: “Who benefits, or look for who benefits.”

Researchers of ancient treatises on history believe that these words belong to the lawyer Cassian Ravilla, who in the first century of our century investigated a crime and addressed the judges with these words.

Words of Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero is a great and political figure who played a leading role in exposing the Catiline conspiracy. He was executed, but many of the thinker’s sayings continue to live among us for a long time, like Latin sayings, and few people know that he was the author.

For example, everyone knows:

Ab igne ignam. - From the fire, fire (Russian: from the fire to the fire).

A true friend is found in a wrong deed (in a treatise on friendship)

To live is to think (Vivere eats Kogitare).

Either let him drink or leave (out bibat, out abeat) - a phrase often used at Roman feasts. In the modern world it has an analogue: they don’t go to someone else’s barracks with their own regulations.

Habit is second nature (treatise “On the Highest Good”). This statement was also picked up by the poet Pushkin:

The habit has been given to us from above...

The letter does not blush (epistula non erubescit). From a letter from Cicero to a Roman historian, in which he expressed his satisfaction that he could express much more on paper than in words.

Everyone makes mistakes, but only a fool persists. Taken from the work "Philippics"

About love

This subsection contains Latin sayings (with translation) about the highest feeling - love. Having reflected on their deep meaning, one can trace the thread that connects all times: Trahit sua quemque voluptas.

Love cannot be cured with herbs. Ovid's words, later paraphrased by Alexander Pushkin:

The disease of love is incurable.

Femina nihil pestilentius. - There is nothing more destructive than a woman. Words belonging to the great Homer.

Amor omnibus let's go. - Part of Virgil's saying, “love is the same for all.” There is another variation: all ages are submissive to love.

Old love must be knocked out with love, like a stake. Words of Cicero.

Analogues of Latin and Russian expressions

A lot of Latin sayings have identical meanings to proverbs in our culture.

The eagle doesn't catch flies. - Each bird has its own nest. It hints that you need to adhere to your moral principles and rules of life, without falling below your level.

Excess food interferes with mental acuity. - Words that have a related proverb among Russians: a full belly is deaf to science. This is probably why many great thinkers lived in poverty and hunger.

Every cloud has a silver lining. There is an absolutely identical saying in our country. Or maybe some Russian fellow borrowed it from the Latins, and from then on it was the same?

Like the king, so is the crowd. Analogue - such is the pop, such is the arrival. And more about the same thing:

What is allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to the bull. About the same thing: to Caesar is what is Caesar's.

Whoever has done half the work has already begun (attributed to Horace: “Dimidium facti, qui tsopit, khabet”). Plato has the same meaning: “The beginning is half the battle,” as well as the old Russian proverb: “A good beginning covers half the battle.”

Patrie fumus igne alieno luculentzior. - The smoke of the fatherland is brighter than the fire of a foreign land (Russian - The smoke of the fatherland is sweet and pleasant to us).

Mottos of great people

Latin sayings have also been used as mottos of famous individuals, communities and fraternities. For example, “to the eternal glory of God” is the motto of the Jesuits. The motto of the Templars is “non nobis, Domine, sed nomini tuo da gloriam,” which translates: “Not to us, Lord, but to your name, give glory.” And also the famous “Capre diem” (seize the moment) - this is the motto of the Epicureans, taken from Horace’s opus.

“Either Caesar or nothing,” is the motto of Cardinal Borgia, who took the words of Caligula, the Roman emperor famous for his exorbitant appetites and desires.

"Faster, higher, stronger!" - Since 1913 it has been a symbol of the Olympic Games.

“De omnibus dubito” (I doubt everything) is the motto of Rene Descartes, a scientist-philosopher.

Fluctuat nec mergitur (floats, but does not sink) - on the coat of arms of Paris there is this inscription under the boat.

Vita sine libertate, nihil (life without freedom is nothing) - Romain Roland, a famous French writer, walked through life with these words.

Vivere eat militare (to live means to fight) - the motto of the great Lucius Seneca the Younger, and philosopher.

About how useful it is to be a polyglot

There is a story circulating on the Internet about a resourceful medical student who witnessed how a gypsy woman became attached to an unfamiliar girl with calls to “gild her pen and tell fortunes.” The girl was quiet and shy and could not properly refuse a beggar. The guy, sympathizing with the girl, came up and began shouting out the names of diseases in Latin, waving his arms widely around the gypsy. The latter hastily retreated. After some time, the guy and girl happily got married, recalling the comical moment of their acquaintance.

Origins of language

The Latin language gets its name from the Lanites, who lived in Latium, a small region in the center of Italy. The center of Latium was Rome, which grew from a city to the capital of the Great Empire, and Latin was recognized as the official language over a vast territory from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, as well as in parts of Asia, North Africa and the Euphrates River valley.

In the second century BC, Rome conquered Greece, the ancient Greek and Latin languages ​​mixed, giving rise to many Romance languages ​​(French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, among which Sardinian is considered the closest in sound to Latin).

In the modern world, medicine is unthinkable without Latin, because almost all diagnoses and medications are spoken in this language, and the philosophical works of ancient thinkers in Latin are still an example of the epistolary genre and cultural heritage of the highest quality.
