You're close. [b]Seemed is not exactly right.. the final verb is the key, not qualis. And yes, it is a definite sign of smugness, not to mention elitism, to write a Latin quotation.[/b]
Don't know what you mean by "key",
but you might notice I already realised my mistake.
I even posted it before you😏

You're getting smugger all the time.. I had a phone call between posts. The verb eram means I was.

I am not that which I was, or I'm not what I used to be.

I feel obliged to correct you there:
According to my dictionary it means: "zelfvoldaan, zelfgenoegzaam"
This is Dutch for -I think it is- contemplate
i.e. being very happy and proud of what you can or have done and boasting about that.
It's a rather negative word, signifying you're too vai.

or somthing like that, my friend
Zelfvoldaan = smug

😏


and other English words are: Complacent (as already mentioned), conceited, superior and priggish (a lovely word if ever there was one).
