Cum tibi praeponas...

Here is today's distich by Cato (so-called), 4.11, with English translations by Duff and Chase.

Cum tibi praeponas animalia bruta timore,
Unum hominem scito tibi praecipue esse timendum.

Thy fear of beasts declares their rule o'er thee;
Know thou that man alone should dreaded be.
(Chase)

When fear of brute beasts harasses your mind,
Know what you most should dread is human kind.
(Duff)
