A Latin quote for Alien
« on: August 07, 2004, 04:49:38 pm »
let the voting (and translating) begin...translations will come tomorrow..unless one of the Latin scholars out there do it first (and I know you are there)


Amare et sapere vix deo conceditur.



Nec mortem effugere quisquam mec amorem potest.



Novo modo tu homo amdas, siquidem te quicquam quod faxis pudet.



Credo ego Amorem primum apud homines carnificinam commentum


Have fun....

Mike
Summum ius summa iniuria.

The more law, the less justice.

Cicero, De Officiis, I, 33

"It doesn't, and you can't, I won't, and it don't
it hasn't, it isn't, it even ain't, and it shouldn't
it couldn't"
FZ, 1974

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.

First two lines:

Even a god finds it hard to love and be wise at the same time

No one is able to flee from death or love.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
