POSTREMO PENSANDUM
QUANTA DOCTRINAE COMMODITAS SIT IN LIBRIS
QUAM FACILIS, QUAM ARCANA!
QUAM TUTO LIBRIS HUMANAE IGNORANTIA PAUPERTATEM
SINE VERECUNDIA DENUDAMUS!
HI SUNT MAGISTRI QUI NOS INSTRUUNT
SINE VIRGIS ET FERULA,
SINE VERBIS ET CHOLERA, SINE PANNIS ET PECUNIA.
SI ACCEDIS, NON DORMIUNT;
SI INQUIRENS INTERROGAS, NON ABSCONDUNT;
NON REMURMURANT SI OBERRES;
CACHINNOS NESCIUNT, SI IGNORES
And finally, one must consider how great the ease of learning
there is in books, how yeilding, how trusty!
How safely we reveal, without shyness, in the face of our books
the poverty of our human ignorance!
They are teachers who instruct us without switches or rods,
without slaps or anger, without notice of rags or riches.
If you approach them, they are not asleep;
If you ask a question, they do not hide;
They do not mutter at you if you make a mistake;
When you are ignorant, they do not know how to laugh at you.
This is my favorite quote that I found. I'm going to put it up on my bedroom wall.
PERITE
Literally, it means Fuck Off. Amazing.
NIL ILLEGITIMUS CARBORUNDUM
Don't let the bastards get you down.
IMPUDENS ES LENO
Bastard! (really "You shameless pimp" and it's a real insult)
SIT VIS VOBISCUM
May the Force be with you.
HAHAHAHAHA THATS TOO FUNNY.
MATER MEMENTO MORI
Remeber your mortality.
Only a few but they're all pretty cool. If I find anymore I'll have to post 'em.
