A human to the human is a wolf...maybe my translation into english is not exact, but was something like that.

The quote is from Latin. I believe I have it right.
" Homo homini lupus est "

This is an ancient Hebrew proverb, so it doesn't really have an original person who 'said' it. It was later adopted by the Romans, so you see a lot of Latin versions of it out there.
In Hebrew: ××× ×××× ×××
- or, transcribed: Adam le'adam Ze'ev
- Translation: A human is a wolf to a human
In Latin: Homo homini lupus est.

I can't find a name for someone who originated the quote. I do keep coming up with a book called "Man Is Wolf to Man" & a few Latin translation sites that include the quote.
