Remember to keep a clear head in difficult times.

This translated isn't really any kind of an insult or anything, so it has to be some kind of a slang reference to something else.  Something to do with protecting the king and is anyone doing it.

Status: offline 		Dustyn, dear, the way the game is played is You translate Your predecessor's latin sentence and state one of Your own.
 
This one should be easy enough:
