Ire viam qua monstret eques.]

For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that
which he laughs at, than that which he approves and reveres.
[Lat., Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius ilud
Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur.]

I have reared a memorial more enduring than brass, and loftier
than the regal structure of the pyramids, which neither the
corroding shower nor the powerless north wind can destroy; no,
not even unending years nor the flight of time itself. I shall

[Lat., Exegi monumentum aera perennius
Regalique situ pyramidum altius,

Possit diruere aut innumerabilis
Annorum series et fuga temporum.
Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei
Vitabit Libitinam.]
