February 3rd, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Ab uno disce omnes."
"Ab uno disce omnes."
"Learn all from one," id est, from one example, learn about all others of similar kind. Of course, one must always be very careful in attempting to extrapolate a general characteristic from a particular member of any group.
~ based on Vergil's Aeneid ii.65-66 (where it appears with the alternate form omnis)
a.d. III Nonas Februarias anno A.U.C. MMDCCLXXVI
