Just looked up this quote since it appeared in the new book American Lion by Jon Meacham. This quote was used by Daniel Webster it was a rather moving/important speech on the Senate floor.
is it really quoted today by military leaders? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Benson85 ( talk • contribs) .
It could also be that Horace was using irony, i. e. quoting military leaders of his time. He was very often ironic! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.162.82.95 ( talk • contribs) .
I'm not sure describing Jessie Pope as having "limited talent" -although undubitably true - is really suitable for an encyclopedia? It's not objective.
It seems to have been suggested that this article be merged with the article about "Dulce et Decorum Est" (The Poem by Wilfred Owens). Personally, I don't really see that as an appropriate merger. The complete phrase has quite the history of its own, whereas the poem has its own seperate meanings and history. The two are certainly related, but not to the point at which merging is appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.179.169.18 ( talk • contribs) .
Don't merge the two. One has its origin in the other, but not visa versa. To merge the two would be very inappropriate.
I could easily translate the article to german or create a german version of it. I'm new to wikipedia, as you can tell not registered yet. So my question is, how do I do it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.52.149.4 ( talk) 21:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
I have noticed a flaw in the translation giving a feminine connotation to the word "patria" which is properly translated "fatherland" rather than "mother country". I will alter it, barring protests to the opposite by those well-studied in Latin. 136.242.105.88 ( talk) 02:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
" Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, sed dulcius pro patria vivere, et dulcissimum pro patria bibere. Ergo, bibamus pro salute patriae"
Too bad this line from previous versions is no longer mentioned in the current article; I rather liked it.

I really like the factoid about Brecht criticising it in a school essay - if anyone comes up with a citation for that it would be greatly appreciated. Apostrophemma ( talk) 09:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
