In vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.

Before Virtue can be defined, vice must be understood.

Amphibolia will not be restricted to the amphora.

Ne quid nimis - enough Latin. Vice is vice; call it a vice. Laziness is worse than self indulgence. Apathy is worse than mistakes. Memento audere semper.

In racing cars, horses and women, let finishing the race govern risk taking. In learning from mistakes, don't over document - it's officious; don't lose sight of FINISHING.

Let history do some of the work - if Caesar is better known than Juvenal, the audience has spoken. Only disagree if you disagree with the audience. As noted, do not neglect the lessons of Juvenal.
