    About this ebook

    Why be interested in Latin if you're not a kid trying to get into a good college or a person of any age who wants to develop Harry Potter-type spells? Latinitas Memorabilis can help you: • Laugh and learn from the wisdom and foolishness of our ancestors and ourselves • Love and laugh more deeply with insights from over 2000 years ago to today • Develop critical thinking skills and keep your current skills alive. John Sullivan, a gentle sitdown comic who has loved Latin for over 62 years, invites you to see what you can learn from the quotes, their translations, and commentary. Then crescat et floreat cognitio vestra! (Translation: May your knowledge increase and flourish!)
