The Ides of March

Since today is rather significant in Roman history, I've decided to share a few of my favorite quotes in Latin. I took Latin in high school and I haven't lost quite everything I learned.

"Amor tussisque non celaverunt." (Love and a caugh can't be hidden.) I've always liked this one because it's fun to say and so true that people can almost always tell when someone is in love.

"Nemo repente fuit turpissimus." (No one was ever very wicked suddenly.)

"Nunc bibendum est." (Now we must drink.") The gerundive with est indicates duty, obligation, or necessity, which is why we MUST drink. TGIF.
