Juvenal

What’s infamy matter if you keep your fortune?

Denn selten sind die Guten; zähle sie, es sind kaum so viele
wie die Tore Thebens oder die Mündungsarme des reichen Nil.

If now a friend denies not what was given him in trust,
If he restores an ancient purse with all its coins and rust,
This prodigy of honesty deserves to be enrolled
In Tuscan books, and with a sacrificial lamb extolled.

Semper ego auditor tantum? numquamne reponam
vexatus totiens rauci Theseide Cordi?
inpune ergo mihi recitaverit ille togatas,
hic elegos? inpune diem consumpserit ingens
Telephus aut summi plena iam margine libri
scriptus et in tergo necdum finitus Orestes?
nota magis nulli domus est sua quam mihi lucus
Martis et Aeoliis vicinum rupibus antrum
Vulcani. Quid agant venti, quas torqueat umbras
Aeacus, unde alius furtivae devehat aurum
pelliculae, quantas iaculetur Monychus ornos,
Frontonis platani convulsaque marmora clamant
semper et adsiduo ruptae lectore columnae:
expectes eadem a summo minimoque poeta.
et nos ergo manum ferulae subduximus, et nos
consilium dedimus Sullae, privatus ut altum
dormiret; stulta est clementia, cum tot ubique
vatibus occurras, periturae parcere chartae.
cur tamen hoc potius libeat decurrere campo
per quem magnus equos Auruncae flexit alumnus,
si vacat ac placidi rationem admittitis, edam.

So Nature ordains; no evil example corrupts us so soon and so rapidly as one that has been set at home, since it comes into the mind on high authority.

Haut facile emergunt quorum virtutibus opstat res angusta domi.

We are now suffering the evils of a long peace. Luxury, more deadly than war, broods over the city, and avenges a conquered world.

Pikiran yang sehat dalam tubuh yang sehat.

Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Honesty is admired, and starves.

Many a man has met death from the rushing flood of his own eloquence; others from the strength and wondrous thews in which they have trusted.

Summum crede nefas animam praeferre pudori
et propter vitam vivendi perdere causas.

Maxima debetur puero reverentia.

Sit mens sana in corpore sano
(a healthy mind in a healthy body)

Many commit the same crime with a very different result. One bears a cross for his crime; another a crown.
