Vita Caesaris: You can see my IVLIVS CAESAR feed with a sentence from Plutarch's Life of Caesar each day in Greek, Latin and English.

Proverbiis Pipilo: You can see my Proverbia feed of Latin proverbs which I "tweet" while I am online each day (in English, too). Here's one from today about how more is not always better! Lenis alit flammas, grandior aura necat (English: A light breeze nourishes the flames; a bigger breeze kills them).
