Latin Quote by SUSI
In a post from SUSI (e-mail not given)
I saw a Latin quote. I want to know what it means... yes, I'm just
nosy. Please no flamin' for off-topicness. Saw it on this NG.
What does
<<fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo et in terra. nunc est bibendum.>
mean?
Susi?
Anybody?
Best I can get, not having done Latin for ages:
"....both in the ?sky? or on the Earth. Nothing is worth drinking."
and doesn't <<fiat>> have something to do with doing,
<<tua>> mean yours
<<voluntas>> I presume has something to do with
choice???
What?:
"Do your own thing, both in Heaven and on Earth. Nothing is worth
drinking"
I fear Caelus, or somesuch word is "sky", so I'm not sure about "coelo".
I'm still probably talking rubish. Someone help.
Is is something to do with Epicureanism?
