"Aliud est de silvestri cacumine videre patriam pacis . . . et aliud tenere viam illuc ducentem."
-- St. Augustine, Confessions, VII, xxi
"For it is one thing to see the land of peace from a wooded ridge . . . and another to tread the road that leads to it."
(Translation in Surprised by Joy, C. S. Lewis)

Josephus, you're supposed to be studying RUSSIAN, not Latin!!!
You may refer to me as "The Joe", or simply "Joe".
Every man ought to learn Latin. Besides, that's not the point of the post, and Latin always sounds cooler. The English is only for you folks who don't know the Latin.
AMEN
