- Nam quod semel meum est, amplius meum esse non potest
- For that which is once mine cannot be mine more fully. Nam quo major vis est animi quam corporis, hoc sunt graviora ea, quae concipiuntur animo quam illa quae corporae. For, as the power of the mind is greater than that of the body, in the same way the sufferings of the mind are more severe than the pains of the body. Young v Western Union Tel. Co. 107 NC 370, 11 SE 1044.
