December 20th Latin of the Day - "Necessitas non habet legem."

 Necessitas non habet legem.

"Necessity does not know any law." (Literally, "Necessity does not have any law.")

~ Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090 - 1153 C.E. (French reformer of monastic life); quoted by Oliver Cromwell in speech to Parliament on September 12th, 1654 C.E.

With macrons: Necessitās nōn habet lēgem.
