Sicut radix portat arborem, sic humilitas animam. Spiritus humilitatis est super mel dulcis, quo qui regitur dulcia poma facit.
--
Just as the root feeds the tree, so humility feeds the soul. The spirit of humility is sweeter than honey, and whoever is fed by this sweetness produces fruit.

Sermon for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (Part II: De bonae arboris fructificatione et de malae arboris excisione, par. 10)Anthony of Padua

Sicut turris defendit castrum sic humilitas cordis defendit castitatem corporis a iaculis fornicationis.
Anthony of Padua
Siquidem et per naturam pleraque mutationem recipiunt, et corrupta in diversas species transformantur; sicut de vitulorum carnibus putridis apes, sicut de equis scarabei, de mulis locustae, de cancris scorpiones.
Isidore of Seville
Dulcis et alta quies, placidaeque simillima morti.
Virgil
That fatal day for England, the sad destruction of our dear country [dulcis patrie].
