“I know of no book to contend in usefulness with this resourceful, voluminous and appetizing smorgasbord.” –from the Introduction by William F. Buckley, Jr.

facta non verba
FAH-ktah nohn WEHR-bah
actions speak louder than words

Facta non verba, literally “deeds, not words,” holds that protestations of good intentions count for little, action is what we need.

Fans of Amo, Amas, Amat and More, Eugene Ehrlich’s first collection of Latin words and phrases which still serve gracefully today, will delight in this second offering.

Here’s a sampling:

contra felicem vix deus vires habet
KAWN-trah fhe-LEE-kem wiks DAY-uus WIHR-ehs HAH-bet
don’t be against a crapshooter on a roll

Publilius Syrus telling us that “against a lucky man a god scarcely has power.” Why buck the odds?

dea certe
DEH-ah KEHR-tay
assuredly a goddess

A fine compliment to pay any woman of outstanding achievement in her lifetime.
