One you won't find in most Latin proverb books: "Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto."

"I am human, and I consider nothing human to be foreign to me."

A nice phrase to say when you let rip with a loud fart or burp in civilized company.



Yep. "Remember, you are mortal," which was what a servant repeated over and over in the ear of Roman emperors as they rode in triumph parades.


It's not a bad phrase either. It was originally meant to remind people that they were mortal, just like everyone else - meant to keep people with their feet on the ground and stop them from idolizing themselves. Sadly few people remember the phrase's origin and think it's just a phrase people use to curse or discourage others. It's not.



I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Latin. Some words look it (though I doubt any of them actually are), but others are clearly from another language.

"Res ipsa loquitur, tabula in narfragio."

- Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean, Worlds End

Cogito Ergo Sum - I think, therefore I am.

Lex Talionis - Eye for an Eye.

Veritas vos Liberabit - The truth shall set you free

does anyone know a latin word for Imprison, or a synonym for it? I'd appreciate it if someone told me, thanks

marriage

I was going to say that one

Also "Alea iacta est" (The die is cast), "Oderint dum metuant", (I scorn their hatred, if they do but fear me), and though I can't find the original Latin, "If we could survive without a wife, citizens of Rome, all of us would do without that nuisance; but since nature has so decreed that we cannot manage comfortably with them, nor live in any way without them, we must plan for our lasting preservation rather than for our temporary pleasure."

There is an achievement for the pyro in Team Fortress 2 which is: "Semper Fry", i think it means "always frying" hehe.

:thumbsup:

Si vis pacem, para bellum
Meaning: "If you desire peace, prepare for war" in that a strong nation is less likely to be attacked than a weak nation.

"Deus impeditio esuritori nullus."

No god can stop a hungry man.

Quid Pro Quo

Semper Fidelis

Carpe carp..

..and this, always. I love you, brother. If you find yourself sent over to the sandbox, stay frosty.

Corripe Cervisiam

De Oppresso Liber, to free from oppression.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

"Hell, man, I ain't even et one yet."

(stole that from a Southern comedian I read of once.)

"Alea iacta est", "Veni, vidi, vici" among others. Mostly from Caesar and Rome: Total War.

Apparently its latin, not sure, some worsds translated in latin. Others I couldnt get translations.

Whatevers latin for .like a boss. Anyone know it ?

I've been a Latin student my entire life and there are a few crude phrases of sixual nature we made up in our classes when we were younger, but I'm afraid they don't belong here :tongue:

IN any case, probably Veni, Vidi, Vici, what a classic.

I agree with this one. Pure pacifism only works if everyone agrees to follow it, and as soon as someone decides that violence is a viable path then you have a lot of unarmed people at the mercy of the armed one.

Also: "Eo quod in multa sapientia multa sit indignatio et qui addit scientiam addat et laborem". Meaning something like "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." Ecclesiastes - Ecclesiastes 1:18
Or put simply, "ignorance is bliss".

It's not latin I believe it is native american, but I like the saying and meaning so I will posty it

"We do not inherit this world from our parents, but borrow it from our children"

If everyone lived by this the world would be a beautiful place and not one run by money and greed.

Edit:
If anyone has the ability to translate this into latin I would be grateful :icecream:

Came here to say that one.




(Carpe diem! Fish for 10 cents! :whistling: )

I agree a lot with that too, which I forgot to mention. I consider Latin phrases nice enough when used in the proper situations, but may easily feel pretentious and cliché.

Nosce hostem tuum.

That does mean "know thy enemy" right?
