One of the best!

Purchased a second copy as a gift after I found a like-new copy in a library book shop. Love, love, love this book! If you are a literary aficionado, a teacher, a linguist, a smart-aleck, a history buff, or all of the above, buy this book! Endlessly entertaining and engrossing! Also broadens ones understanding of the English language and its' Latin roots, without sounding at all like a text book. A priceless gem! I hope it never goes out of print!

I love that Latin is a dead language that lives

This is a great book, I have the original publication on my bookshelf almost/more than 30 years, my son has always said he wanted it bequeathed to him. Why wait have a copy of your own so we can quote ourselves silly and love those Romans and their neighbors. Actually bought the updated version for myself as well, aside from the latin books from school this is great fun and always useful when you need to be making a point highbrow/llowbrow it works. The fun is the forward by the late William F. Buckley and the exercise regarding the New York School vs. the other one. It's high comedy, who has heard a true latin speaker ? and the study of language is serious yes, but not the intent of this delightful book. so it is all the more of a giggle with the high falutin and always entertaining Mr. Buckleys authority. Me, 12 years with the sisters of Notre Dame, a gaggle of Jesuits and latin classes enough to make you weep and there in is the rub of course. So for some it's wweni, widy wichy and for us it's veni vide vic(h)e. Oh yes I had one latin teach who was of the weak lipped w school, he did not sit well with the habits and cassocks. If you need a quote and want to learn something interesting in sound bites put it on your coffee table honestly

Proof That Everything Sounds Better in Latin

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017

An indispensable book of Latin quotes put in a dictionary style collection.Most of these proverbs, quotes, sayings and words of wisdom have a brief explanation, and all have a phonetic translation.This book isn't meant to teach Latin, but you'll have a great amount to quote. Also see Ehrlich's sequel : "Vini Vidi Vici" for more.

The geek in me loves this book, paired with with it's sister book Amo, Amas, Amat and More, for finding and defining Latin phrases that frequently find their way into everyday language.

This book arrived on time in perfect condition for a present for a college student who doesn't want to take a Latin class but wanted Latin phrases easily accessed when reading or hearing Latin phrases inserted into conversation. The student was very pleased to receive this. Amazon came through with the perfect product as usual.
