Times change and we with them.
Meaning and origin
The proverb "Times change, and we change with them" (in Latin "Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis") highlights the idea that change is a natural and inevitable part of life, and that we must be willing to adapt and evolve along with the changing times. It serves as a reminder that we should be open to new experiences, growth, and transformation as we navigate through the different stages of life.
The origin of this proverb can be traced back to the Roman poet Ovid, who included a similar phrase in his work "Metamorphoses" in the 1st century AD. The sentiment expressed in this proverb has remained relevant throughout history and continues to be a powerful reminder of the ever-changing nature of life.
