1. Scio me nihil scire
[scio me nihil scire]

“I know that I don’t know anything,” according to Plato, Socrates said about himself in this way. And he explained this thought: people usually think that they know something, but it turns out that they do not know anything. Thus, it turns out that, knowing about my ignorance, I know more than everyone else. A phrase for those who like to let fog and reflective persons.

2. Cogito ergo sum
[kogito, ergo sum]

“I think, therefore I am” is a philosophical statement by Rene Descartes, a fundamental element of Western rationalism in modern times.

Cogito ergo sum is not the only formulation of Descartes's idea. More precisely, the phrase sounds like “Dubito ergo cogito, cogito ergo sum” - “I doubt, then I think; I think, then I exist. " Doubt is, according to Descartes, one of the modes of thinking. Therefore, the phrase can be translated as "I doubt, then I exist."

3. Omnia mea mecum portо
[omnia mea mekum porto]

"I carry everything with me." Roman historians say that in the days of the conquest of the Greek city of Priene by the Persians, the sage Bias calmly walked behind a crowd of fugitives, barely carrying heavy property on them. When asked where his things were, he grinned and said: "Everything that I have, I always carry with me." He spoke Greek, but these words have come down to us in Latin translation.

It turned out, historians add, that he was a real sage; on the way, all the refugees lost their goods, and soon Bias fed them with the gifts that he received, conducting instructive conversations with their inhabitants in cities and villages.

This means that the inner wealth of a person, his knowledge and mind are more important and valuable than any property.

4. Dum spiro, spero
[doom spiro, spiro]

By the way, this phrase is also the slogan of the underwater special forces - combat swimmers of the Russian Navy.

5. Errare humanum est
[erráre humanum est]

“It is human nature to make mistakes” is the aphorism of Seneca the Elder. In fact, this is just a part of the aphorism, in its entirety it sounds like this: "Errare humanum est, stultum est in errore perseverare" - "It is human nature to make mistakes, but it is stupid to persist in their mistakes."

6. O tempora! O mores!
[about tempora, about mores]

“O times! About morals! " - the most famous expression of Cicero from the "First speech against Catiline", which is considered the pinnacle of Roman oratory. Revealing the details of the conspiracy at a meeting of the Senate, Cicero with this phrase expresses indignation both by the arrogance of the conspirator, who dared to appear in the Senate as if nothing had happened, and by the inaction of the authorities.

Usually the expression is used, stating the decline of morals, condemning an entire generation. However, this expression may well become a funny joke.

7. In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas
[in wine varitas, in aqua sanitas]

“The truth is in wine, health in water” - the first part of the proverb is known to almost everyone, but the second part is not so widely known.

8. Homo homini lupus est
[homo homini lupus est]

"Man is a wolf to man" is a proverbial expression from Plautus's comedy "Donkeys". They use it when they want to say that human relations are sheer selfishness and enmity.

In Soviet times, this phrase was used to describe the capitalist system, in contrast to which, in the society of the builders of communism, man is a friend to man, comrade and brother.

9. Per aspera ad astra
[per aspera ed astra]

"Through hardship to the stars". The variant "Аd astra per aspera" - "To the stars through thorns" is also used. Perhaps the most poetic Latin dictum. Its authorship is attributed to Lucius Anneus Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher, poet and statesman.

10. Veni, vidi, vici
[veni, see, vici]

“I came, I saw, I conquered” - this is how Gai Yuli Caesar wrote in a letter to his friend Amintius about the victory over one of the Black Sea fortresses. According to Suetonius, these very words were written on a board that was carried during Caesar's triumph in honor of this victory.

11. Gaudeamus igitur
[Gaudeamus Igitur]

“So, let's have fun” - the first line of the student anthem of all times and peoples. The anthem was created in the Middle Ages in Western Europe and, contrary to church-ascetic morality, praised life with its joys, youth and science. This song goes back to the genre of drinking songs by the vagantes - medieval wandering poets and singers, among whom were students.

12. Dura lex, sed lex
[dura lax, sad lax]

There are two versions of the translation of this phrase: "The law is harsh, but it is the law" and "The law is the law." Many people think that this phrase refers to the time of Roman law, but this is not the case. The maxim dates back to the Middle Ages. In Roman law, there was just a flexible, allowing to soften the letter of the law, the rule of law.

13.Si vis pacem, para bellum
[se vis pack steam bellum]

14. Repetitio est mater studiorum
[rapetyo est mater studio room]

One of the most beloved proverbs by Latitians, it is also translated into Russian by the proverb “Repetition is the mother of learning”.

15. Amor tussisque non celantur
[amor tusisskve non tselantur]

Pearls of Thought

NEC MORTALE SONAT

(SOUNDS IMMORTAL)Latin catchphrases

Amico lectori (To friend-reader)

Necessitas magistra. - Need is a mentor (need will teach everything).

Compare: “Negative for inventions is cunning”, “You will start to weave sandals like there is nothing to eat”, “If you get hungry, you’ll guess the bread”, “Suma and prison will give the mind”. A similar thought is found in the Roman poet Persia ("Satires", "Prologue", 10-11): "The art teacher is the stomach." From the Greek authors - in the comedy of Aristophanes "Plutos" (532-534), where Poverty, which they want to expel from Hellas (Greece), proves that it was she, and not the god of wealth Plutos (to everyone's joy he was healed of blindness in the temple god of healing Asclepius and now squandering himself as a mortal), is the giver of all blessings, forcing people to engage in sciences and crafts.

Nemo omnia potest scire. - Nobody can know everything.

The basis was the words of Horace ("Odes", IV, 4, 22), taken as an epigraph to the dictionary of the Latin language, compiled by the Italian philologist Forcellini: "It is impossible to know everything." Compare: "You cannot embrace the immensity."

Nihil habeo, nihil timeo. - I have nothing - I'm not afraid of anything.

Compare with Juvenal ("Satire", X, 22): "A traveler who has nothing with him will sing in the presence of a robber." Also with the proverb "The rich cannot sleep, he is afraid of the thief."

Nil sub sole novum. - There is nothing new under the sun.

From the Book of Ecclesiastes (1, 9), the author of which is believed to be the wise king Solomon. The point is that a person is not able to come up with anything new, no matter what he does, and everything that happens to a person is not an exceptional phenomenon (as it sometimes seems to him), but has already happened before him and will be repeated after.

Noli nocere! - Do no harm!

The main commandment of the doctor, also known in the form "Primum non nocere" ("First of all, do not harm"). Formulated by Hippocrates.

Noli tangere circulos meos! - Don't touch my circles!

About something inviolable, not subject to change, not allowing interference. It is based on the last words of the Greek mathematician and mechanic Archimedes, cited by the historian Valery Maxim ("Memorable Deeds and Words", VIII, 7, 7). Taking Syracuse (Sicily) in 212 BC, the Romans gave him life, although the machines invented by scientists sank and set fire to their ships. But the robbery began, and the Roman soldiers entered the courtyard of Archimedes and asked who he was. The scientist studied the drawing and, instead of answering, covered it with his hand, saying: "Don't touch it"; he was killed for disobedience. About this - one of the "Learned Tales" by Felix Krivin ("Archimedes").

Nomen est omen. “The name is a sign.

In other words, the name speaks for itself: something informs about a person, foreshadows his fate. It is based on the comedy of Plautus "Pers" (IV, 4, 625): selling a pimp a girl named Lukrida, who shares the same root with the Latin lucrum (profit), Toxil convinces him that such a name promises a good deal.

Nomina sunt odiosa. - Names are undesirable.

The call to speak on the merits, without getting personal, not to mention well-known names. The basis is the advice of Cicero ("In Defense of Sextus Roscius Ameriytsa", XVI, 47) not to mention the names of acquaintances without their consent.

Non bis in idem. - Not twice for one.

This means that you are not punished twice for one offense. Compare: "Two skins do not tear from one ox."

Non curator, qui curat. - He who has worries is not cured.

The inscription on the terms (public baths) in ancient Rome.

Non est culpa vini, sed culpa bibentis. - The wine is not to blame, the drinker is to blame.

From the couplets of Dionysius Katbna (II, 21).

Non omnis moriar. - Not all of me will die.

So Horace in the ode (III, 30, 6), called "Monument" (see the article "Exegi monumentum"), speaks of his poems, arguing that while the high priest will ascend Capitol Hill, performing an annual prayer for the good Rome (which the Romans, like us, called the Eternal City), will grow and his, Horace, unfading glory. This motive sounds in all the rehash of "Monument". For example, in Lomonosov ("I have erected a sign of immortality for myself ..."): "I will not die at all, but death will leave // ​​a great part of mine, as I will end my life." Or in Pushkin ("I erected a monument to myself not made by hands ..."): Met, all of me will not die - my soul is in the cherished lyre // my ashes will survive and flee decay.

Non progredi est regredi. “He’s going forward is going backward.”

Non rex est lex, sed lex est rex. “The king is not the law, but the law is the king.

Non scholae, sed vitae discimus. - We study not for school, but for life.

It is based on Seneca's reproach (Moral Letters to Lucilius, 106, 12) to armchair philosophers, whose thoughts are divorced from reality, and the mind is cluttered with useless information.

Non semper erunt Saturnalia. - There will not always be Saturnalia (holidays, carefree days).

Compare: "Not everything for the cat is Shrovetide", "Not everything with provisions, you will live with kvass." It is found in the work "The Apotheosis of the Divine Claudius" attributed to Seneca (12). Saturnalia was celebrated annually in December (from 494 BC), in memory of the golden age (era of prosperity, equality, peace), when according to legend, Saturn, the father of Jupiter, reigned in the area of ​​Latius (where Rome was located). People were having fun in the streets, visiting; stopped work, legal proceedings, the development of military plans. For one day (December 19), the slaves received freedom, sat at the same table with their modestly dressed masters, who, moreover, served them.

Non sum qualis eram. “I’m not what I was before.

Having grown old, Horace ("Odes", IV, 1, 3) asks
goddess of love Venus leave him alone.

Nosce te ipsum. - Know yourself.

According to legend, this inscription was inscribed on the pediment of the famous temple of Apollo in Delphi (Central Greece). It was said that once seven Greek sages (VI century BC) gathered near the Delphic temple and put this saying at the basis of all Hellenic (Greek) wisdom. The Greek original of this phrase, gnothi seauton, is quoted by Juvenal (Satires, XI, 27).

Novus rex, nova lex. - New king - new law.

Compare: "A new broom sweeps in a new way."

Nulla ars in se versatur. - Not a single art (not a single science) closes in on itself.

Cicero ("On the boundaries of good and evil", V, 6, 16) says that the goal of each science lies outside of it: so, healing is the science of health.

Nulla calamitas sola. - The trouble is not one.

Compare: "Trouble has come - open the gate", "Trouble leads to seven troubles."

Nulla dies sine linea. - Not a day without a line.

A call to practice your art daily; an excellent motto for an artist, writer, publishing house. The source is the story of Pliny the Elder (Natural History, XXXV, 36, 12) about Apelles, a Greek painter of the 4th century. BC, which every day held at least one line. Pliny himself, a politician and scientist, author of the 37-volume encyclopedic work "Natural History" ("History of Nature"), which contains about 20,000 facts (from mathematics to art history) and used information from the works of almost 400 authors, followed this rule all his life Apelles, which became the basis for the couplet: "According to the testament of Elder Pliny, // Nulla dies sine linea".

Nulla salus bello. - There is no good in war.

In Virgil's Aeneid (XI, 362), the noble Latin Drank asks the king of the Rutuls Thurnus to put an end to the war with Aeneas, in which many Latins die: either retire or fight the hero one on one, so that the king's daughter Latina and the kingdom go to the victor.

Nunc vino pellite curas. - Now drive away your worries with wine.

In the ode of Horace (I, 7, 31), this is how Teucrus addresses his companions, who, after returning from the Trojan War to his native island of Salamis, again went into exile (see “Ubi bene, ibi patria”).

About rus! - O village!

“O village! When will I see you! " - exclaims Horace ("Satires", II, 6, 60), telling how, after a hectic day spent in Rome, having decided a lot of things on the go, he with all his heart strives for a quiet corner - an estate in the Sabine mountains, which has long been the subject of his dreams (see "Hoc erat in votis") and presented to him by Maecenas - a friend of the Emperor Augustus. The patron also helped other poets (Virgil, Proportion), but it was thanks to the poems of Horace that his name became famous and began to denote any patron of the arts. In the epigraph to the 2nd chapter of "Eugene Onegin" ("The village where Eugene was bored was a lovely corner ...") Pushkin used a pun: "O rus! About Russia! "

About sancta simplicitas! - O holy simplicity!

About someone's naivety, stupidity. According to legend, the phrase was uttered by Jan Hus (1371-1415), the ideologist of the church Reformation in Bohemia, when, during his burning as a heretic, by the verdict of the Constance Church Cathedral, some pious old woman threw an armful of brushwood into the fire. Jan Hus preached in Prague; he demanded equalization of the rights of the laity with the clergy, called Christ the only head of the church, the only source of doctrine - Holy Scripture, and some popes - heretics. The Pope summoned Hus to the Council to express his point of view, promising safety, but then, having kept him in captivity and executed him for 7 months, said that he did not fulfill the promises made to the heretics.

About tempora! about mores! - About the times! about morals!

Perhaps the most famous expression from the first speech of Cicero (consul 63 BC) against the conspirator-senator Catiline (I, 2), who is considered the pinnacle of Roman oratory. Revealing the details of the conspiracy at a meeting of the Senate, Cicero in this phrase is indignant at both the impudence of Catiline, who dared to appear in the Senate as if nothing had happened, although his intentions were known to everyone, and the inaction of the authorities in relation to the criminal plotting the death of the Republic; while in the old days people were killed and less dangerous for the state. Usually the expression is used, stating the decline of morals, condemning an entire generation, emphasizing the unheard-of nature of the event.

Occidat, dum imperet. - Let him kill, if only he reigned.

So, according to the historian Tacitus (Annals, XIV, 9), the power-hungry Agrippina, the great-granddaughter of Augustus, answered the astrologers, who predicted that her son Nero would become emperor, but would kill his mother. Indeed, 11 years later, Agrippina's spouse was her uncle, Emperor Claudius, whom she poisoned 6 years later, in 54 AD, passing the throne to her son. Subsequently, Agrippina became one of the victims of the cruel emperor's suspicion. After unsuccessful attempts to poison her, Nero set up a shipwreck; and having learned that his mother was saved, he ordered to stab her with a sword (Suetonius, "Nero", 34). A painful death awaited him himself (see "Qualis artifex pereo").

Oderint, dum metuant. - Let them hate, if only they were afraid.

The expression usually characterizes the power that is based on the fear of subordinates. The source is the words of the cruel king Atreus from the tragedy of the same name by the Roman playwright Akzia (II-I centuries BC). According to Suetonius ("Gaius Caligula", 30), the emperor Caligula (12-41 AD) liked to repeat them. Even as a child, who loved to be present at torture and executions, he signed sentences every 10th day, demanding that convicts be executed with small, frequent blows. The fear in people was so great that many did not immediately believe the news of the murder of Caligula as a result of a conspiracy, believing that he himself had spread these rumors in order to find out what they thought of him (Suetonius, 60).

Oderint, dum probent. - Let them hate, just to support.

According to Suetonius ("Tiberius", 59), this is what the emperor Tiberius (42 BC - 37 AD) said while reading anonymous verses about his ruthlessness. Even in childhood, the character of Tiberius was shrewdly determined by the teacher of eloquence Theodore Gadarsky, who, scolding, called him “mud mixed with blood” (“Tiberius”, 57).

Odero, si potero. - I hate it if I can.

Ovid ("Love Elegies", III, 11, 35) speaks of the attitude towards the insidious girlfriend.

Od (i) et amo. - I hate and love.

From the famous couplet of Catullus about love and hate (No. 85): “Though I hate, I love. Why? - perhaps you’re asking. Perhaps the poet wants to say that he no longer feels the former exalted, respectful feeling for the unfaithful girlfriend, but cannot stop loving her physically and hates himself (or her?) For this, realizing that he is betraying himself, his understanding of love. The fact that these two opposite feelings are equally present in the hero's soul is emphasized by the equal number of syllables in the Latin verbs "I hate" and "I love". Perhaps that is why there is still no adequate Russian translation of this poem.

Oleum et operam perdidi. - I wasted oil and labor.

This is what a person can say about himself who has wasted time in vain, worked without benefit, without receiving the expected results. The proverb is found in the comedy Plautus "Puniyets" (I, 2, 332), where the girl, whose two companions the young man noticed and greeted first, sees that she tried in vain, dressing up and oiled. Cicero gives a similar expression, speaking not only about the oil for anointing ("Letters to loved ones", VII, 1, 3), but also about the oil for illumination used during work ("Letters to Atticus", II, 17, 1) ... We find a similar statement in the novel by Petronius "Satyricon" (CXXXIV).

Source - told by Cicero ("Paradoxes", I, 1, the legend about Biante, one of the seven Greek sages (VI century BC).

The conspiracy was revealed, its organizer Scribonian was executed. Pet, sentenced to death, had to commit suicide within a certain period of time, but could not make up his mind.

In this exclamation, the poet Juvenal (Satires, X, 81) reflected the basic demand of the idle Roman rabble in the era of the Empire. Resigned to the loss of political rights, poor people were content with handouts that dignitaries achieved popularity among the people - the distribution of free bread and the organization of free circus shows (chariot races, gladiator fights), costume battles.

") - Christ said that he was going to Rome to die again for a people deprived of a shepherd. Peter returned to Rome and was executed along with the apostle Paul, who was captured in Jerusalem.

Quod scripsi, scripsi. - What I wrote, I wrote.

Usually this is a categorical refusal to correct or redo your work. According to the Gospel of John (19, 22), this is how the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate replied to the Jewish high priests, who insisted that on the cross where Jesus was crucified, instead of the inscription “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” made on the order of Pilate ( Hebrew, Greek and Latin - 19, 19), it was written "He said:" I am the King of the Jews "(19, 21).

But then, starting to talk with people who assured them that they know a lot, and asking them the most important and, at first glance, simple questions (what is virtue, beauty), he realized that, unlike others, he knows at least that knows nothing.

Gorenshtein). As Cicero says in the "Tusculan Conversations" (III, 15, 31), this is exactly what Socrates was: the quarrelsome wife of Xanthippus scolded the philosopher precisely because his expression was unchanged, "after all, his spirit, imprinted on his face, did not know changes "(Translated by M. Gasparov).

These words of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, who was a very sick person and considered the highest good to be pleasure, understood by him as the absence of pain, is quoted and disputed by Cicero ("On the boundaries of good and evil", II, 29, 94). Extremely serious illnesses, he says, can also be long-term, and the only way to resist them is courage, which does not allow cowardice. The expression of Epicurus, since it is ambiguous (usually quoted without the word dolor - pain), can be attributed to human speech. It will turn out: "If weighty, then short, if long (verbose), then frivolous."
