| Latin Proverb - L
Labour conquers all things.Late hours and love and wine lead not to moderation in anything.Late repentance is rarely sincere.Late repentance is seldom true.Laugh with those that laugh.Laugh, if you are wise.Laughter abounds in the mouths of fools.Learning has sour roots, but pleasant fruits.Leave not your staff at home.Length of time rots a stone.Less malevolence, or more power to exercise it.Let each man do his best.Let every man have his due.Let him bear the prize, who has deserved it.Let him take the oars who has learned to row.Let it be given to the most meritorious.Let it be well recorded that a harlot is a gate which leads to death.Let it go for what it is worth.Let no man be the servant of another, who can be his own master.Let no man refuse to endure that which is common to the lot of all.Let not the cobbler go beyond his last.
[Lat., Ne sutor ultra crepidam.]Let not your right hand know what your left hand doeth.Let not your sword be drawn at any man's bidding.Let the buyer be on his guard.Let the cobbler stick to his last.Let the devil never find you unoccupied.Let the experiment be made on a worthless body.
[Lat., Fiat experimentum in corpore vili.]Let the ignorant learn, and the learned delight in refreshing the memory.Let them hate, so that they fear me.Let there be no delay.Let us be judged of by our actions.Let us go, where fate directs us.Light cares speak, great ones are dumb.Light griefs can speak, but deeper ones are dumb.Like cures like.Like likes like.Like mistress, like maid.Like priest, like people.Like prince, like people.Limit your inquiry after knowledge.Lions at home.Lions in time of peace; deer in war.Listen to that which is openly and seriously spoken.Little drops produce the shower.Little grain have I collected from a mass of chaff.Little things please little minds.Live near a lame man, and you will soon learn to limp.Live not beyond your means.Live your own life, for you will die your own death.Look to the end.
[Lat., Respice finem.]Losses make us more cautious.Love begets love.Love brooks no delay.Love for those too easily won does not last long.Love is a kind of military service.Love is like a shuttlecock.Love is the fruit of love.Love steals on us imperceptibly.Love would soon perish, unless nourished by Ceres and Bacchus.Lovers are madmen.Lust of power is the strongest of all passions. |
