Quotes (ab)using Latin or about Latin itself

[Carolus Raeticus]

Salvete!

I thought that it would be interesting to start a thread featuring quotes:

• about Latin itself ("about" but not "in" Latin), or
• using Latin (but not Latin-only quotes!)

Caveat lector: this thread is not intended for Latin-only quotes (e.g. "Oderint dum metuant")!
I want to start off with this wonderful - and unfortunately at least for me at the present time still too true - quote from Paul B. Diederich's "The Frequency of Latin Words and their Endings":

"Caesar, the first classical author commonly read, is so difficult in vocabulary, syntax, and maturity of content that fewer pupils than Helvetians survive."

As an example for the second type of quotes for this thread, I would like to present a brief quote from an autobiography about the British draughtsman (of wonderful hand-drawn maps) and author A. Wainwright:

"I'm getting old, that's the trouble. How I wish tempus wouldn't fugit so much."

Valete,

Carolus Raeticus

[Hampie]

Latin is a language,
dead as dead can be;
first it killed the Romans,
now it's killing me.

It's old, but it never gets boring!

It's old, but it never gets boring!

Another classic:

If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
