Thursday, August 10, 2006

Well, apparently I was in South Bend in the wrong month! I just saw this on the Latinteach list! I'm so bummed!

"Without Latin you should just stay in bed!" - Fr. Reginald Foster, Chief Latinist of the Vatican
"But I have never gone away from them. How can an educated person stay away from the Greeks? I have always been far more interested in them than in science." - Albert Einstein
"I would beg Leave to ask whether any People in any Age or Country ever defended and preserved their Liberty from the Encroachment of Power without suffering present Inconveniences. The Roman People suffered themselves to be defeated by their Enemies, rather than submit to the Tyranny of the Nobles" – John Dickinson, 1768
"Befriend the scroll, the palette. It pleases more than wine. Writing for him who knows it is better than all other professions. It pleases more than bread and beer, more than clothing and ointment. It is worth more than an inheritance in Egypt, than a tomb in the west." - "Papyrus Lansing," Nebmare-nakht
