"Sun Tzu tells us :He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious."

I just finished reading "The Art Of War". Interesting book. Since I don't understand latin what does your tagline mean?

It may be translated loosely as

“Beware what you say, when, and to whom”

I believe this is good advice these days.

I had originally thought to use

“Caeci caecos ducentes”

Blind are led by the blind. Leaders are not more knowledgeable than the ones they lead

But it seemed a but too.... lets say, obtuse, for FR.

But then

“Cave ab homine unius libri”
Beware of anyone who has just one book

has its own merits.

Thanks for asking, it seems odd that with all the old school Catholics around, we don’t see more Latin (Classic) quotes and sayings.

The Romans had a lot to say that is cogent for today.

Peace my FRiend, have a good weekend.
