Do not trust the horse, Trojans. Whatever it is, I fear the Grecians, even bearing gifts.

[Equo ne credite, Teucri.
quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.]

Aeneid, Book 2, l. 48 (c. 29-19 BC)
Alt. trans.: "O Trojans, do not trust the horse. Be it what it may, I fear the Grecians even when they offer gifts."
