An adage can be told in any language, including Latin.

It originated from the Latin word adagium (plural form adagia).

An adage is a saying or phrase.

Some examples in Latin:

Ancipiti plus ferit ense gula.

Gluttony kills more than the sword.

Bonis quod bene fit haud perit

Whatever is done for good men is never done in vain.

Candor dat viribus alas

Sincerity gives wings to strength.

Mutantur omnia nos et mutamur in illis

All things change, and we change with them.

Veni vidi vici

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Veritas vos liberabit

The truth shall make you free.
