Here is a round-up of today's proverbs and fables, and I have something fun to announce: Bob Martel has a book of Aesop's fables out that might be of interest. It's available as a Kindle and as a paperback at Amazon:
The Magic of Aesop.
HODIE: ante diem tertium Idus Septembres
Bovem in lingua fert.
He's carrying on ox on his tongue.
(i.e. He's been bribed to keep silent,
from the ox that appears on the coin.)
Numquam cara minus quam propria vita salusque
Esse viro debet fama cuique sua.
[
English]
Audio, sed taceo.
I listen, but I am silent.
Virtuti inimica voluptas.
Pleasure is an enemy to virtue.
