Ubi idem et maximus et honestissimus amor est, aliquando praestat morte jungi, quam vita distrahi → Where indeed the greatest and most honourable love exists, it is much better to be joined by death, than separated by life.

Valerius Maximus, De Factis Dictisque

Latin > English (Lewis & Short)

tempĕrātor: ōris, m. id.,
I one who duly arranges, orders, or governs (very rare): moderator ille et quasi temperator hujus tripartitae varietatis, Cic. Or. 21, 70: voluptatis, i. e. who enjoys it in moderation, Sen. Vit. Beat. 14, 1.—Poet.: armorum (flumen), i. e. that rightly tempers them, Mart. 4, 55, 15.
