Meanings of "Video meliora proboque, ..."
Inglese
I see a better way and approve it, but I follow the worst way. This is from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It means, even though I know better, I keep doing the wrong thing. Someone who speeds in an auto and gets tickets rather than just slow down while driving would be guilty of this. Colloquially it would be a 'slow learner'.
