Synopsis

101 Life-Changing Latin Proverbs

By Maxwell W. Wilson
Timeless Wisdom from the Heart of the Roman World

Beneath the grandeur of Roman architecture and military might lay a quieter power: the wisdom of words.

In 101 Life-Changing Latin Proverbs, author Maxwell W. Wilson invites you to explore the enduring insights of the Roman mind, concise, poetic truths that have shaped Western thought for over two millennia. Each proverb is presented in Latin (with careful transliteration), followed by a clear English translation and a thoughtful explanation that connects ancient wisdom to the modern world.

These are not just old sayings. They are life-tested principles on courage, character, discipline, fate, leadership, love, time, and the human condition. Whether you're a lover of Latin, a student of philosophy, or simply seeking deeper reflection in daily life, this collection offers insight, inspiration, and perspective that transcends time.
