Default Latin on Hatch

First- wow, what an episode. It has actually inspired me to become fanatical, and this is my first post about the show- so Hi everybody!

Some people have already posted some of this... but here it is in one post-

Latin Translations (text taken from the lost.cubit image, I am going to see if I can find more)

Sursum corda - Lift up your hearts (to God)
Cogito ergo doleo - I think therefore I am depressed
Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est - The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest - It's a bad plan that can't be changed. (Publilius Syrus)
Aegrescit medendo - The disease worsens with the treatment. The remedy is worse than the disease

translations found here- http://www.yuni.com/library/latin_7.html


"Sursum Corda" Ralph Waldo Emerson
Seek not the Spirit, if it hide,
Inexorable to thy zeal:
Baby, do not whine and chide;
Art thou not also real?
Why should'st thou stoop to poor excuse?
Turn on the Accuser roundly; say,
"Here am I, here will I remain
Forever to myself soothfast,
Go thou, sweet Heaven, or, at thy pleasure stay."—
Already Heaven with thee its lot has cast,
For it only can absolutely deal.
