Remember Roman
Latīna
tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento;
hae tibi erunt artes; pacisque imponere morem,
parcere subiectis, et debellare superbos.
-- Publius Vergilius Maro, Aeneid.
English
But thou, 0 Roman, learn with sovereign sway
To rule the nations. Thy great art shall be
To keep the world in lasting peace, to spare
humbled foe, and crush to earth the proud.
-- Publius Vergilius Maro, Aeneid (Translated by Theodore C. Williams. Houghton Mifflin, 1910).
