But I wouldn't have learned a cool new latin proverb.

- facorreia 14y agoAccording to Wikipedia it's (incorrectly) attributed to the Socrates character in Plato's Republic. Although a related idea is discussed in that book, the saying itself is attributed to Roman poet Juvenal, which was discussing marital affairs.
