There are more versions of this Latin proverb:
Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat. - Those whom God wills to destroy he first deprives of their senses.
Quos vult perdere Jovis prius dementat. - Those whom he wants to destroy, Jupiter first deprives of their reason.

I've heard it expressed " .... he first makes mad" (mad as in insane, not angry) - Valerie, Dec 8, 2009

Hello janey, Welcome to the forum
This is Latin and I tried an online Latin translator and it did not work. Are you sure that you typed it in correctly here?
