Jack,

I feel ashamed. I learned Latin for six years a very long time ago, I know
"ergo", I know "iacta", I know "ex fenestra" which is a rather modern
"Latin", but what is "esto"? I can guess the meaning of the sentence, which
seems close to "throwing pearles tothe svines". Please persuade me that I
am not right!

Best regards, 
Franz
