Vos fugam capietis

Thinking that we cannot be saint we try to be good. Since we dont'succeed, we please ourselves of being moralist.

Ahahaha!
Did you "create" this sentence? :D
It's fantastic.

Can I copy this post?

Er... would you mind to translate the title? I can only "suppose" what that means, and I am too lazy to try to seriously translate it... yeah, I am so ignorant! ;D

Pensando di non poter essere santi, cerchiamo di essere buoni. Non riuscendoci, ci accontentiamo di essere moralisti.

Ehm... sorry... you asked about the title:

Vos fugam capietis, et ego vadam immolari pro vobis.

You will run away, and I will go sacrifice myself for you.

Voi fuggirete ed io andrĂ² ad immolarmi per voi.

Bye,
Max

Thank you, Max!
I must just add that the title are words that Jesus said just before be captured.
You must hear the DaVictoria's polyfonical composition
"Tristis est anima mea" in Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae about them.
