here on lit few people are truly educated and even those few rarely have the opportunity to express their repressed inner beauty.
these questions (i swear i'd translate them to latin myself) are too great to withhold them from your company, anon. it is a joy to ponder on how they would have sounded if spoken by horace:
1."to whom is it good?" would be "cui bono"
so short, so crispy, so transcendentally sublime
2."who claims it is good for him?"
it's my cocaine. i always share it when i have it, anon; all that is mine is yours; i'd never rob you of the extasy of intellectual fulfillment, of the feeling of truimph, of the joy of accomplishment, found once you have successfully translated something to latin. here, enjoy:
3."whereto does it lead? (what does it cause?)"
4."which deeds reflect it?"
5."what exclamation does support it?"
6."in which situation is it spoken and by whom?"
eat me, drink me, today you're my guest

it is a delight to read your latin!
and what about
"who claims it is good for him?"
i'd go with
"Qui se bonum est"
but i am afraid it's not sexy enough
