Nocte latent mendae, vitioque ignoscitur omni, Horaque formosam quamlibet illa facit.

Blemishes are hid by night and every fault forgiven; darkness makes any woman fair.

Humilitas homines sanctis angelis similes facit, et superbia ex angelis demones facit.
Augustine of Hippo
"Well, maybe I'm a latent homosexual." He considered that for a moment. "Or maybe I'm a latent heterosexual. Anyway, I'm pretty latent. I don't know why. Of course, I've taken a number of stabs at it, but then I start thinking about the futility of it all and I give up. Maybe it's because you're expected to do something and after a certain point all I want to do is lie there and stare at the ceiling."
Margaret Atwood
The power of the Plus Factor is potential but it is not self-activating. It is latent in human beings and will remain latent until it is activated.
Norman Vincent Peale
Just as a new scientific discovery manifests sometimes that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.
Northrop Frye
