I saw this many years ago and have used the English version but the English doesn't have the ooomph that the Latin does. Roughly, the English says, "But who will watch the watchers?"

I saw the phrase somewhere too, but it was "Who will guard the guardians themselves?" And yes, the translation is "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" It seems to flow a bit more in latin. Its pronounced just as its spelled, like spanish pronunciation only you pronounce the "qu" like in "quick"

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://tinyurl.im/aHLuK

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase that translates to "Who will guard the guards?" or "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?"

The question was first asked by Plato in the Republic

kwis custodebt ipso's custo dess.

QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES (you got this already with pronunciation).
The phrase as it is normally quoted in Latin comes from the Satires of Juvenal, the 1st/2nd century Roman satirist. Although in its modern usage the phrase has universal, timeless applications to concepts such as tyrannical governments and uncontrollably oppressive dictatorships, in Juvenal's poem it is part of a venomous attack on women (Satire 6.346-8):
Audio quid ueteres olim moneatis amici,"pone seram, cohibe." sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? That translated is:
I hear always the admonishment of my friends:
"Bolt her in, constrain her!" But who will watch
the watchmen? The wife plans ahead and begins with them!

There are at least three recognised systems of pronouncing Latin, so you could get two other different answers. My -oe- here represents a long 'o' sound, as in 'store'.
