Latin
Nulla res singularis in rerum natura datur qua potentior et fortior non detur alia. Sed quacunque data datur alia potentior a qua illa data potest destrui.
English (Elwes 1883)
There is no individual thing in nature, than which there is not another more powerful and strong. Whatsoever thing be given, there is something stronger whereby it can be destroyed.
Modern English
No individual thing exists in nature of which there is not another thing more powerful and stronger. Whatever thing is given, there is another, more powerful, by which the given thing can be destroyed.
