1. Latin sayings

There are many Latin sayings that have become part of English.

2. Words and meanings

Written languages rarely and slowly change while spoken language changes often and relatively quickly. Words have meanings. Meanings are important.

The famous Latin proverb is "Verba volant, scripta manent" ≈ "spoken words fly, written words remain" (probably from Caius Titus). Better to put something into writing than to agree verbally.
