Random Latin

Some more phrases from my Latin calendar:

Dummodo sit dives, barbarus ipse placet
So long as he is rich, even a barbarian is pleasing

Edo ergo sum
I eat, therefore I exist

Est ars etiam male decendi
There’s an art even to speaking evil

Eventus stultorum magister
The result is the instructor of fools

Felix qui nihil debet
Happy is he who owes nothing

Esto quod esse videris
Be what you seem

Elephantum ex musca facis

You’re making an elephant out of a fly

I so need to add that last one to my repertoire!
