pridie Id. Iul.

MEMORĀBILE DICTŪ

Quod nēmō nōvit paene nōn fit.
“What no one knows almost does not happen.” (Apuleius, Transformations 10.3)

This saying exemplifies the logic “Not known, not done” aimed at alleviating the remorse of the human conscience over bad deeds.

From Latin for the New Millennium
