Not dead yet! Just napping!
I haven't been posting on this blog much recently, but that's only because I'm taking a little break to wrap up law school loose ends.
Like, for example, writing seminar papers. I finished one today, and I only have one more to go.
In the meantime, I've been thinking about adopting a Latin motto for myself. How about:
disce quasi semper victurus vive quasi cras moriturus: "Learn as if always going to live; live as if tomorrow going to die."
Some other candidates are:
- hic sunt ursi "here there are bears"
- cygnus inter anates "swan among ducks"
- si peccasse negamus fallimur et nulla est in nobis veritas "if we refuse to make a mistake, we are deceived, and there's no truth in us"
- quidquid Latine dictum sit altum viditur "whatever has been said in Latin seems deep"

Swan among ducks?
Hoe do you say "nonlinear" in Latin anyway?

I find it hard to improve upon "semper ubi sub ubi"

My personal favorite:
expressio unios est exclusio altinos
loosely translated as "expressing some is excluding others"
hmm... I wonder what would happen if I stated that slogan while walking into an establishment with the sign "no shirt no shoes no service"...without wearing any pants.
