Forgive the ignorance, it’s been a long time since I dug into my latin books. One of the sententia antiquae from Chapter 2 is giving me some trouble.
Fortunam et vitam antiquae patriae saepe laudas sed recusas.
“You often praise the fortunes and way of life of the ancient fatherland, but you reject it.”
I think that’s the best I can come up with. Am I on the right track with this thinking?
