Giveaway: it's been awhile

Thanks for the chance. So here's one of my favorite Latin quotes.

(Oderint Dum Metuant)

"Let them hate so long as they fear"
 
A very interesting premise to this GA. I'm in.

I picked up this phrase from a college history course that covered the origins of common law. I don't know to whom it should be attributed but it always stuck with me.

Necessitas legem non habet - Necessity knows no law.

Thanks for the chance.

"Pharnabazos arrived wearing clothing that was worth a great deal of gold, and as his servants placed embroidered carpets beneath him, on which the Persians, with their soft style of living, are accustomed to sit, Pharnabazos noticed the spare and simple outfit of Agesilaos. Ashamed of indulging in such luxury, he lay down just as he was next to him on the ground" - Xenophon, Hellenica

Thanks for the chance!

"question everything" -Socrates

It seems like a good idea, but in practice it gets me into trouble. Not everything likes being questioned.
Thanks for the chance to win.
