5 Multum, non multa
"Много, но не многое", т. е. много по значению, а не по количеству.ср. Multa, non multum Плиний Младший, "Письма", VII, 9:(1) Quaeris, quemadmodum in secessu, quo jam diu frueris, putem te studere oportere - - (15) Tu memineris sui cujusque generis auctores diligenter eligere. Ajunt enim multum legendum esse, non multa. "Ты спрашиваешь, как я посоветую тебе заниматься в твоем продолжительном уединении - - Не забывай тщательно выбирать авторов в каждом жанре. Ведь надо, как говорится, читать много, а не многое".ср. Квинтилиан, "Обучение оратора", X, 1, 59: Dum assequamur illam firmam, ut dixi, facilitatem, optimis adsuescendum est et multa magis quam multorum lectione formanda mens et ducendus color. "Пока мы не достигнем той уверенной беглости, о которой я говорил, надо свыкаться с лучшими образцами; надо развивать ум и вырабатывать стиль, читая много, а не читая многое"Наши парни вполне могут помешаться от этих чудовищных программ. Чем мы только не забиваем им головы, какой чепухой! Лишь бы можно было сказать, что наши ребята вполне современны. Но от всего этого в головах у них получается винегрет. Нет, то, что я говорил на последнем собрании, снова подтверждается: multum non multa. (Томас Валентин, Без наставника.)Латинско-русский словарь крылатых слов и выражений > Multum, non multa

6 moltus
multus (old form moltus), a, um; comp. plus; sup. plurimus (v. at the end of this art.), adj. [etym. dub.], much, great, many, of things corporeal and incorporeal.I.Posit.A.In gen.: multi mortales, Cato ap. Gell. 10, 3, 17: multi suam rem [p. 1173] bene gessere: multi qui, etc., Enn. ap. Cic. Fam. 7, 6, 1 (Trag. v. 295 sq. Vahl.):B.multi fortissimi viri,
Cic. Fam. 5, 17, 3:rationes,
id. de Or. 1, 51, 222. tam multis verbis scribere, at such length, id. Fam. 3, 8, 1:beneficia. Cato ap. Fest. s. v. ratissima, p. 286 Mull.: multi alii,
Ter. And. 5, 4, 28.—When used with another adjective it is usually connected with it by a conjunction:multae et magnae contentiones,
many great conlests, Cic. Phil. 2, 3, 7; 3, 10, 26:O multas et graves offensiones,
id. Att. 11, 7, 3:multi et graves dolores,
id. Verr. 2, 5, 45, § 119:multi et varii timores,
Liv. 3, 16, 3:multae bonaeque artes animi,
Sall. J. 28, 5:multa et clara facinora,
Tac. A. 12, 31.—But when the second adjective is used substantively the conjunction is omitted:multi improbi,
Cic. Off. 2, 8, 28; 2, 19, 65:multi boni, docti, prudentes,
id. Fl. 4, 8:multi nobiles,
id. Planc. 20, 50:multa acerba habuit ille annus,
id. Sest. 27, 58; 66, 139:multa infanda,
Liv. 28, 12, 5:multa falsa,
id. 35, 23, 2.—Also, when the second adjective forms with its substantive a single conception:multa secunda proelia,
victories, Liv. 9, 42, 5; 35, 1, 3; 41, 17, 1:multa libera capita,
freemen, id. 42, 41, 11:multae liberae civitates,
republics, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 30, § 68:multos fortes viros,
id. Cat. 3, 2, 7; id. Mur. 8, 17:multi clari viri,
noblemen, id. Leg. 1, 5, 17:multi primarii viri,
id. Verr. 2, 2, 61, § 149.—Similarly, et is omitted between multi and adjectives which form with their substantives familiar phrases:multi clarissimi viri,
Cic. Phil. 11, 10, 24:multi amplissimi viri,
id. Fin. 2, 17, 55; id. Deiot. 14, 39; id. Fam. 10, 25, 2; id. Att. 10, 8, 7; 16, 16, 11; id. Verr. 1, 7, 19:multi honestissimi homines,

that we know not the Trojans and their history, Verg. A. 1, 565:adeo senuerunt Juppiter et Mars?
Juv. 6, 59.—Hence (post-Cic.): adeo non ut... adeo nihil ut... so little that, so far from that...

Prob.:teque adeo decus hoc aevi inibit,
Verg. E. 4, 11; id. G. 1, 24: teque, Neptune, invoco, vosque adeo venti, Poët. ap. Cic. Tusc. 4, 34, 73;and without the copulative: vos adeo... item ego vos virgis circumvinciam,

do you, then, think that they are ignorant of you or your conduct entirely? id. Ph. 5, 8, 38.—To denote what exceeds expectation, even: quam omnium Thebis vir unam esse optimam dijudicat, quamque adeo cives Thebani rumificant probam, and whom even the Thebans (who are always ready to speak evil of others) declare to be an honest woman, Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 44.— Hence also it denotes something added to the rest of the sentence, besides, too, over and above, usually in the connection: -que adeo (rare, and never in prose; cf.III.adhuc, I.): quin te Di omnes perdant qui me hodie oculis vidisti tuis, meque adeo scelestum,
and me too, Plaut. Rud. 4, 4, 122; cf. id. 4, 2, 32:haec adeo tibi me, ipsa palam fari omnipotens Saturnia jussit,
Verg. A. 7, 427.After Caesar and Cicero (the only instance of this use adduced from Cicero's works, Off. 1, 11, 36, being found in a passage rejected by the best critics, as B. and K.).A.For adding an important and satisfactory reason to an assertion, and then it always stands at the beginning of the clause, indeed, for:B.cum Hanno perorāsset, nemini omnium cum eo certare necesse fuit: adeo prope omnis senatus Hannibalis erat: the idea is,
Hanno's speech, though so powerful, was ineffectual, and did not need a reply; for all the senators belonged to the party of Hannibal, Liv. 21, 11, 1; so id. 2, 27, 3; 2, 28, 2; 8, 37, 2; Tac. Ann. 1, 50, 81; Juv. 3, 274; 14, 233.—Also for introducing a parenthesis: sed ne illi quidem ipsi satis mitem gentem fore (adeo ferocia atque indomita [p. 34] ingenia esse) ni subinde auro... principum animi concilientur, Liv. 21, 20, 8; so id. 9, 26, 17; 3, 4, 2; Tac. A. 2, 28.—When to a specific fact a general consideration is added as a reason for it, so, thus (in Livy very often):C.haud dubius, facilem in aequo campi victoriam fore: adeo non fortuna modo, sed ratio etiam cum barbaris stabat,
thus not only fortune, but sagacity, was on the side of the barbarians, Liv. 5, 38, 4:adeo ex parvis saepe magnarum momenta rerum pendent,
id. 27, 9, 1; so id. 4, 31, 5; 21, 33, 6; 28, 19; Quint. 1, 12, 7; Curt. 10, 2, 11; Tac. Agr. 1:adeo in teneris consuescere multum est,
Verg. G. 2, 272.—In advancing from one thought to another more important = immo, rather, indeed, nay: nulla umquam res publica ubi tantus paupertati ac parsimoniae honos fuerit: adeo, quanto rerum minus, tanto minus cupiditatis erat, Liv. praef. 11; so Gell. 11, 7; Symm. Ep. 1, 30, 37.—D.With a negative after ne—quidem or quoque, so much the more or less, much less than, still less (post-Aug.):hujus totius temporis fortunam ne deflere quidem satis quisquam digne potuit: adeo nemo exprimere verbis potest,
still less can one describe: it by words, Vell. 2, 67, 1:ne tecta quidem urbis, adeo publicum consilium numquam adiit,
still less, Tac. A. 6, 15; so id. H. 3, 64; Curt. 7, 5, 35:favore militum anxius et superbia viri aequalium quoque, adeo superiorum intolerantis,
who could not endure his equals even, much less his superiors, Tac. H. 4, 80.—So in gen., after any negative: quaelibet enim ex iis artibus in paucos libros contrahi solet: adeo infinito spatio ac traditione opus non est, so much the less is there need, etc., Quint. 12, 11, 16; Plin. 17, 12, 35, § 179; Tac. H. 3, 39.—(The assumption of a causal signif. of adeo = ideo, propterea, rests upon false readings. For in Cael. Cic. Fam. 8, 15 we should read ideo, B. and K., and in Liv. 24, 32, 6, ad ea, Weiss.).—See more upon this word in Hand, Turs. I. pp. 135-155. -
