Non parem Pauli gratiam requiro
Veniam Petri neque posco, sed quam
in crucis ligno dederas latroni; sedulus oro.
"O Lord, the faith thou didst give to St. Paul, I cannot ask; the mercy thou didst show to St. Peter; I dare not ask; but Lord, the grace thou didst show unto the dying robber, that, Lord, show to me.”
--Nicolaus Copernicus epitaph in St. Johns’ Cathedral in ToruĊ
