Cui prodest?
Who benefits?
There is such latin saying"cui prodest" (cui prodest) - "who benefits?" When it is not immediately clear which political or social groups, forces, values are defending certain proposals, measures, etc., the question should always be raised: "Who benefits?" (V. I. Lenin, Who benefits?.)
In Russia today, thanks to the fact that the dictatorship of the proletariat has practically raised the fundamental, final, questions of capitalism, one can see with especial clarity who is served (cui prodest? "Who is useful?") by talk about freedom and equality in general. (He, On the struggle within the Italian socialist party.)
The matter does not change in the slightest from the fact that Ivan or Peter, while defending these views (in one part or another of them—for liquidationism is in the "process of growing current tasks"), consider themselves Marxists. It is not their good intentions (who have them) that matters, but the objective meaning of their policy, that is, what comes out of it, cui it prodest, to whom it is useful, what kind of mill this water actually runs. (He, Conversation about kadetoedstve.)
They [impartial persons] have no personal grievances against us, we have not hurt their vanity, we have not inspired them with hatred or envy, and, in addition, we have no reason to suppose that their minds are tightly blocked or that they have any personal motives. The only thing we advise them is not to lose sight of the "cui prodest" of Roman law when they are about to enter into controversy with the Bell. (AI Herzen, To our readers.)
Cui prodest? Who was interested in the death of Babor, Peters, Tilman, Heide, Osterlo? All of them belonged to the Nazi elite, had influential patrons in Bonn. And at the same time they knew the dark sides of the life of these important people. (V. Cherniavsky, Bonn: mysterious suicide.)

Latin is the noblest language in existence. Maybe because he's dead? Knowing Latin is not a utilitarian skill, it is a luxury. You will not speak it, but you will shine in society ... There is no language that helps to impress so much!
1.
Scio me nihil scire
[scio me nikhil scire]
“I know that I don’t know anything,” according to Plato, Socrates spoke of himself this way. And he explained this idea: people usually believe that they know something, but it turns out that they do not know anything. Thus, it turns out that, knowing about my ignorance, I know more than everyone else. A phrase for those who like to fill in the fog and reflective persons.
2. Cogito ergo sum
[kogito, ergo sum]
“I think, therefore I am” is the philosophical statement of René Descartes, a fundamental element of modern Western rationalism.
"Cogito ergo sum" is not the only formulation of Descartes' idea. More precisely, the phrase sounds like “Dubito ergo cogito, cogito ergo sum” - “I doubt, then I think; I think, therefore I am." Doubt is, according to Descartes, one of the modes of thinking. Therefore, the phrase can also be translated as "I doubt, therefore I exist."
3. Omnia mea mecum porto
[omnia mea mecum porto]
“I carry everything with me.” Roman historians say that in the days of the conquest of the Greek city of Priene by the Persians, the sage Byant calmly walked lightly behind a crowd of fugitives, barely carrying heavy property. When asked where his things were, he grinned and said: “Everything I have, I always carry with me.” He spoke in Greek, but these words have come down to us in a Latin translation.
It turned out, historians add, that he was a real sage; along the way, all the refugees lost their property, and soon Biant fed them on the gifts that he received, leading instructive conversations with their inhabitants in cities and villages.
This means that the inner wealth of a person, his knowledge and mind are more important and more valuable than any property.
4. Dum spiro, spero
[dum spiro, spero]
By the way, this phrase is also the slogan of the underwater special forces - combat swimmers of the Russian Navy.
5. Errare humanum est
[errare humanum est]
"To err is human" - the aphorism of Seneca Sr. In fact, this is just part of the aphorism, in its entirety it sounds like this: “Errare humanum est, stultum est in errore perseverare” - “It is human nature to err, but it is foolish to persist in your mistakes.”
6. O tempora! About mores!
[about tempora, about mores]
"O times! Oh manners! - the most famous expression of Cicero from the "First speech against Catiline", which is considered the pinnacle of Roman oratory. Revealing the details of the conspiracy at a meeting of the Senate, Cicero with this phrase expresses indignation at the impudence of the conspirator, who dared to appear in the Senate as if nothing had happened, and the inaction of the authorities.
Usually the expression is used, stating the decline of morals, condemning an entire generation. However, this expression may well become a funny joke.
7. In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas
[in vino veritas, in aqua sanitas]
“Truth is in wine, health is in water” - almost everyone knows the first part of the saying, but the second part is not so widely known.
8. Homo homini lupus est
[homo hominy lupus est]
"Man is a wolf to man" is a proverbial expression from Plautus' comedy "Donkeys". They use it when they want to say that human relations are sheer selfishness and enmity.
In Soviet times, this phrase characterized the capitalist system, in contrast to which, in the society of the builders of communism, man is a friend, comrade and brother to man.
9. Per aspera ad astra
[per aspera ed astra]
"Through hardship to the stars". The variant "Ad astra per aspera" - "To the stars through thorns" is also used. Perhaps the most poetic Latin saying. Its authorship is attributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca, an ancient Roman philosopher, poet and statesman.
10. Veni, vidi, vici
[veni, see, vichi]
“I came, I saw, I conquered,” Gaius Julius Caesar wrote in a letter to his friend Aminty about the victory over one of the Black Sea fortresses. According to Suetonius, it was these words that were written on the board that was carried during the triumph of Caesar in honor of this victory.
11. Gaudeamus igitur
[gaudeamus igitur]
"So, let's have fun" - the first line of the student anthem of all times and peoples. The anthem was created in the Middle Ages in Western Europe and contrary to church-ascetic morality, he praised life with its joys, youth and science. This song goes back to the genre of drinking songs of vagants - medieval wandering poets and singers, among whom were students.
12.
Dura lex, sed lex
[stupid lex, sad lex]
There are two translations of this phrase: "The law is harsh, but it is the law" and "The law is the law." Many people think that this phrase refers to the times of Roman law, but it is not. The maxim dates back to the Middle Ages. In Roman law, there was just a flexible, allowing to soften the letter of the law, the rule of law.
13. Si vis pacem, para bellum
[se vis packem para bellum]
14. Repetitio est mater studiorum
[repetition est mater studio]
One of the proverbs most beloved by the Latins, is also translated into Russian by the proverb "Repetition is the mother of learning."
15. Amor tussisque non celantur
[amor tusisque non tselantur]
“You can’t hide love and cough” - in fact, there are a lot of sayings about love in Latin, but this one seems to us the most touching. And relevant in anticipation of autumn.
