If a statement is untrue, it is not the more respectable because it has been said in Latin

A.A. Milne, the beloved author of the Winnie the Pooh series, was known for his wit and clever use of language. In his works, he often poked fun at the pretentiousness of society and the tendency to value things simply because they sound sophisticated or come from a certain culture. One of his most famous quotes, “If a statement is untrue, it is not the more respectable because it has been said in Latin,” perfectly encapsulates this sentiment.
