May 8th, 2023 Latin of the Day - "Quot homines tot sententiae; suos quoique mos."
"Quot homines tot sententiae; suos quoique mos."
"However many human beings (there are), (there are) that many opinions; to each their own way." - "Suos" is an archaic spelling for Classical Latin "suus," "quoique" is an archaic spelling for Classical Latin "cuique."
