IBI

The notes here are taken from the actual Scala, so be warned that references to the "previous" proverb refer to its order in the Scala, not its order here. You can read more about the word at the Verbosum blog: IBI.

Ubi amor, ibi oculus. ~ Note: See the previous proverb for comments about ubi... ibi... For this proverb, the meaning is definitely spatial: Where someone's love is, there the eye looks!"

Ibi valet populus, ubi valent leges. ~ Note: Notice the correlative use of "ibi... ubi..." - where (when) the laws are strong, there (then) the people are strong.

Ubi amor, ibi fides.

Ibi patria, ubi bene. ~ Note: Note the use of the adverb, bene, without a specified verb - the idea being that it implies all kinds of verbs: where you (live, eat, drink, fare) well, there is your homeland.

Ubi amor, ibi dolor. ~ Note: This is another one of those correlative ubi...ibi proverbs: Where (when) there is love, there is heartache.

Ubi pericula, ibi gloria. ~ Note: This is another one of those ubi...ib... proverbs, of which you have seen several examples already: Ubi concordia, ibi victoria; Ubi spes, ibi pax, etc.

Ubi opes, ibi amici. ~ Note: Note that this expresses the more cynical idea, in contrast to the preceding proverb - this time, the idea is that where there are riches, then there are friends.

Ubi amici, ibi sunt opes. ~ Note: This is in contrast to the more cynical idea that wealth gives you friends (e.g. Amicos pecuniae faciunt). Here the idea is that friends are a kind of wealth in and of themselves, a resource you can draw on, opes. This is one of the sayings that Erasmus included in his Adagia, 1.3.24; it is included by Polydorus in his Adagia, A17.

Ubi spes, ibi pax. ~ Note: You have two new words with this proverb, which form a correlative pair: ubi / ibi. When used in reference to time, they mean "when... then..." but when used in reference to space, they mean "where... there..." If you are translating into English, you have to choose one or the other (even if the Latin itself is undetermined). For this saying, for example, you could go either way - "When there's hope, there is peace" or "Where there's hope, there is peace." Either way works in English for this particular saying.

Terrae, ad quam pergis, cape mores, quos ibi cernis. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 1362. Note that terrae goes with mores: cape mores terrae, adopt the habits of the land. Compare the English saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Ubi thesaurus, ibi oculus. ~ Note: Compare the saying you saw earlier: Ubi amor, ibi oculus.

Ubi thesaurus tuus, ibi et cor tuum. ~ Note: You can find these words in the Gospel of Matthew, 6, and the saying is included by Polydorus in his Adagia, B140.

Ubi dolor, ibi digitus. ~ Note: Note the nice alliteration in this one: dolor-digitus. For the odd story of this saying in a funeral inscription for a boy killed by a tennis ball, see the information about the Stanley child effigy in the Arderne Tomb.

Ubi timor, ibi et pudor. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings that Erasmus included in his Adagia, 1.2.64.

Ubi panis, ibi patria.

Ubi lupus iudex, ibi abeant oves.

Ubi libertas, ibi patria. ~ Note: This is a motto of the Baillie family.

Ubi sunt divitiae, ibi est invidia. ~ Note: This is another one of those ubi...ib... proverbs: Where (when) there is wealth, there is envy.

Ubi veritas, Deus ibi est. ~ Note: This is another "ubi...ibi..." saying where the notion seems more definitely spatial rather than temporal: Where there is truth...

Ubi meum invenio, ibi vindico.

Ubi plurimae segetes, ibi manifesta fortitudo bovis.

Ubi periculum, ibi lucrum.

Nidus testatur ibi qualis avis dominatur. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 679.

Ubi concordia, ibi victoria. ~ Note: This is another one of those correlative ubi...ibi proverbs: Where (when) there is agreement, there is victory.

Ibi semper est victoria, ubi concordia est. ~ Note: This expresses the idea more emphatically with "semper."
