Hmmm, you can't do italics in a code block, which would actually be non-italics because the quote is given in italics… nevermind. Don't know if this is actually a quote or just a paraphrase.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

Your Latin is impeccable, but I was always taught that the actual quote was "Cartago delenda est" as Cato somewhat predates De Bello Gallico which is normally taken as the defining text for 'classical Latin' I find it more convincing.
n.b. I am NOT a Latin scholar and the above is entirely IMHO and does not claim to be definitive...
