Latin is easy to follow, no one speaks Latin, but everyone can understand a Latin proverb and if you're not sure you can search for it. Geez, why are people idiots for not spoon feeding you?

We can just forget about Latin if we are going to post the translation, just post it in English then. If there is no translation at least you can make an effort and try to figure it out before searching.
