Latin Proverbs 2261-2270

Here is some more audio to accompany my Latin Via Proverbs book. The book is available from lulu.com, and it organizes the proverbs into grammatical categories, something that I hope can make the book useful for Latin students at any level, starting from the very first day of studying Latin! There is a companion volume also now available from Lulu: Vulgate Verses: 4000 Sayings from the Bible for Teachers and Students of Latin.

If you are looking for English translations and notes to these proverbs, check out the LatinViaProverbs.com website - it's been completely revamped so that the Latin, English and audio are all available together, along with a search engine that covers the contents of both Latin Via Proverbs and Vulgate Verses. I've also posted some information there about Why I Read Latin Out Loud.

2261. Spiritus flat ubi vult.
2262. Vult et non vult piger.
2263. Qui totum vult, totum perdit.
2264. Qui medium vult, finem vult.
2265. Sumere vult pisces cattus sed flumen abhorret.
2266. Cattus comedit pisces sed non vult humectare pedes.
2267. Ieiunus venter non vult cantare libenter.
2268. Asinus stramen mavult quam aurum.
2269. Qui non vult serere fructus, non debet habere.
2270. Malefacere qui vult, numquam non causam invenit.
