Ergo impiorum designare omnia tempora "inter arma"
- greenyoda 14y agoTranslation from the Latin, with help from Google Translate: Amidst warfare, laws are silent. Therefore the wicked shall designate all times "amidst warfare". Edit: Searching for the first phrase, "inter arma enim silent leges", found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_arma_enim_silent_leges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_arma_enim_silent_leges Apparently, the original is from Cicero (slightly differently worded).
