PARS

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: PARS.

Pars est in toto, sed totum non est in parte.

Audi et alteram partem. ~ Note: Here you have "et" being used not as a conjunction but as an adverb, meaning "also," "even," "too," etc. - Listen to the other side too.

Audiatur et altera pars. ~ Note: This expresses the same idea as the previous proverb, but with a passive verb that has pars as its subject.

Totum parte maius est.

Nihil est ab omni parte beatum. ~ Note: The indeclinable nihil is regarded as a neuter singular, hence the neuter form of the participle, beatum. This is one of the sayings Erasmus included in his Adagia, 3.1.87.

In toto et pars continetur.

Nullus est liber tam malus, ut non aliqua parte prosit.

Est homo vix natus ex omni parte beatus. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 343.

Quid mihi prodest scire agellum in partes dividere, si nescio cum fratre dividere?

Quae pro parte nocent, plurima saepe docent. ~ Note: Another rhyming medieval saying: nocent-docent.

Morbum suum nosse est pars prima salutis. ~ Note: The infinitive phrase, "morbum suum nosse," is functioning as a noun here, serving as the subject of the sentence.

Audi utramque partem, et recte iudica. ~ Note: Notice how the word uterque declines: the uter- part changes (utram agrees with partem), while the -que does not change.

Iudicium differ, partes dum audiveris ambas.

Partem da cuique: sic non partiris inique.

Partem habere est melius quam totum privari.

Scire ubi aliquid invenire possis, ea demum maxima pars eruditionis est.

Prima felicitatis pars sapere. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings Erasmus included in his Adagia, 5.1.87. Here the infinitive sapere is being used as a noun: Prima felicitatis pars (est) sapere.

Tempus est quaedam pars aeternitatis.

Emendatio pars studiorum longe utilissima.

Humanae sapientiae pars est, quaedam aequo animo nescire velle.

Magna pars hominum est quae non peccatis irascitur, sed peccantibus.

Nescire quaedam magna pars sapientiae est.

Maximam partem veneni flagitium bibit sui.

Qui raphanum manducat ex utraque parte tussit.

Aeque pars ligni, curvi ac recti, valet igni. ~ Note: This is one of the sayings collected by Wegeler, 28.

Duplex est vis animorum: una pars in appetitu posita, altera in ratione.

Voluptates, blandissimae dominae, saepe maiores partes animae a virtute detorquent.
