Latin Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Longa est vita si plena est (English: Life is long, if it is full - a philosophy near and dear to my heart; I come from a family of people who often live longer, even much longer, than they would have wanted to - so I'm not one to celebrate longevity for its own sake, as our society often does).

Greek Proverb of the Day: Today's proverb is Παρὰ τὰ δεινὰ φρονιμώτερος (English: After terrible events, more cautious - I like this use of Greek "deina," the same root you see in the word "dinosaurs," the terrible lizards).
