Slow words from the wise in Latin
Thank you to Eileen from the UK who sent this to me this morning. It’s with great appreciation I post it here with permission:
Seriously speaking, I agree with and practise all that is in your manifesto, so to speak.
I have two mottos in life which I follow slowly and carefully. One is -maximum efficiency with minimal effort.
The other is just as important, if not more so and not ungermane. In Latin: suaviter in modo, fortiter in re, gentle in the method, resolute in the action.
To express myself even more seriously, I feel very strongly about all your philosophy, having just lost a darling brother who lived a driven life and his body wore out too soon. Too many of my friends live this similar life and have constant accidents and illnesses.
I am 83 and have always followed all your precepts. Keep up this good work. I am sending news of you to all my family and friends. Eileen.
