verba volant, scripta manent
Spoken words fly — written words remain Classical Wisdom
Roman proverb. Verba = words. Volant = fly. Scripta = written things. Manent = remain
In Scripture
Quem enim misit Deus, verba Dei loquitur : non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure.
Ioannes 3 · 34
