 == Schopenhauer Latin epigram == 

 You altered my edit, saying it was unconstructive.  

 The epigram in question is ""Obit anus, abit onus."" 

 Obit means 'dies. 
 anus means anus (colloquially 'asshole') 
 abit means 'goes away' 
 onus means 'burden' 

 My translation is correct. 

 Schopenhauer pushed an old woman down a flight of stairs (she was making a noise outside his room). She sued him, and he had to pay her compensation - weekly, for the rest of her life. 

 When she died, he said, in Latin: ""The asshole dies, the burden goes."" 

 Rendering that as ""The old woman dies, the burden goes."" does an injustice to the original text.  Although, of course, it is the old woman who was the 'asshole'.  In his opinion. 

 It helps to know what one is talking about."
