Without Limits
Terence, Heauton Timorumenos 483-485 (tr. John Barsby):
Newer› ‹Older
We're all worse when there are no restraints.More literally, "Everyone will want..." and "he won't weigh whether it is good or bad, he'll go after it."
Everyone wants whatever comes into his head;
he doesn't weigh whether it is good or bad, he goes after it.
nam deteriores omnes sumus licentia.
quod quoique quomque inciderit in mentem volet,
neque id putabit pravom an rectum sit; petet. 485
484-485 secl. Bentley
