A few Latin quotations.

Put the correct English translation alongside the Latin.




Latin

dulce et decorum est pro patria mori

quot homines, tot sententiae

sic transit gloria mundi

o tempora, o mores

timeo Danaos et dona ferentes

quo vadis?

ave, imperator, morituri te salutant

qualis artifex pereo!
English

Thus passes the glory of the world.

What times, what behaviour!

Whither are you going?

What an artist dies in me!

I fear the Greeks, even bearing gifts.

It is sweet and proper to die for one's country.

Hail, emperor. Those about to die salute you.


There as many different opinions, as there are
   people.
