If you are looking for a big book of Latin proverbs and quotations accompanied by ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS, then Riley's book is one that I would highly recommend! It also contains around 500 Greek quotations in an appendix at the end of the book. The Latin is marked with a number of short marks and long marks over any potentially ambiguous vowels (vowels not already long by position in words of three syllables or more) to aid in pronunciation. Riley's book is over 500 pages long, and a fun read from start to finish, all the way from A bove maiori discit arare minor to Zonam perdidit.
