"Rota volvitur, muscus non adhaeret"

"Rota volvitur, muscus non adhaeret"   <-- Is this real ?

_________________________

The proverb "a rolling stone gathers no moss" has roots in ancient
languages. Here are its original forms in Greek and Latin:

Greek: The phrase is often attributed to the Greek philosopher
Heraclitus, who said, "Πάντα ῥεῖ" (Panta rhei), meaning "everything
flows." While not a direct equivalent, it conveys a similar idea about
change.


Latin: The phrase is more directly found in Latin as "Saxa loquuntur,"
attributed to Publius Syrus, which translates to "The stones speak."

However, a closer version of the proverb is "Rota volvitur, muscus non
adhaeret," meaning "The wheel rolls, moss does not adhere."

The phrase also crops up in Erasmus’ adages of 1500, where it’s rendered
in Latin as 
saxum volutum non obducitur musco.

I don't see why (gathering) (being covered in) Moss
is such a good thing.

Back then, [old] was always good, i guess.
