Julian quotations
Against Julian 6.15.46
None of the righteous there will any longer bruise his body and bring it into subjection. No one will humble his soul with a hard bed and bodily filth.
No one will expose his blessed disregard for shame to insults, his cheeks to slaps, or his back to lashes. Nor will he strive to forge strength out of weakness. Frugality will not struggle with poverty, nor greatness of soul with grief, nor patience with pain.
Latin
neminem iam ibi iustorum lividum facere corpus suum, et servituti subicere; neminem humiliare animam suam stratis duris et paedore membrorum
Nemo conviciis felicem impudentiam, nemo maxillas palmis, nemo subiciet terga verberibus; nec conflare studebit de infirmitate virtutem; nec cum inopia frugalitas, nec cum moeroribus magnanimitas
Nec patientia cum dolore luctabitur
