I have absolutely no knowledge in Philosophy (okay, a little bit Sénèque), but I did not find an English equivalent to this latin expression. Note that a Flemish (also from Belgium) should be unable to name any latin expression, because they are only part of French, Italian, and other Roman languages, evidently not of Germanic languages such as Dutch, etc. (I do not believe that you learnt something with this.) - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAks1J+gACgkQM0LLzLt8MhyqSgCfRFwGVdIoPw0EbZ/aMWSx9jXb Hb0AoJ593yPXilzjtcpzcxJYtLo7GMsj =+gqy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
