Nihil sub sole novum
(From the Vulgate, Ecclesiastes 1.10; the immediate context for this quote is the passage from 1.9-1.10: Quid est quod fuit? Ipsum quod futurum est. Quid est quod factum est? Ipsum quod faciendum est. Nihil sub sole novum, nec valet quisquam dicere: Ecce hoc recens est: jam enim praecessit in saeculis quae fuerunt ante nos.)
