Withstanding the Test of Time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
With 1,188 proverbs, in English and Latin, this little book serves as a source of inspiration and reflection. I was amazed that these words, written in ancient times, still hold true today. The advice about relationships and human nature caused me to reexamine my own worldview and interactions. The wry jokes written then transcend the barrier of time. Moreover, the index of topics lists the quotes by appropriate keyword, so I could look up what authors thought about a certain topic. The back of the book also provides the means to reference these quotes by author and works quoted. And unlike many other books of ancient words, Latin Proverbs holds true to these words, without any modern interpretation or analysis. The reader is free to ponder the wisdom of the ancients without filters or suggestion. This book contains the phrases that have withstood the test of time, bringing us insight from the ancients that demonstrate the shared bonds of the human condition.
