Favorite Latin Phrase/Saying : Othor Games

» Fri Jul 22, 2011 6:57 am

Did this on a different forum and would be interesting to see what your favorite phrase or saying is from latin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases:_A to a wikipedia area with an A to Z listing of latin phrases that can be used.

Sometimes I prefer this phrase "damnant quod non intelligunt" which I think loosely translates as "They condemn what they do not understand".

*Note: Hopefully this will stay civil since some latin phrases do have religious sayings*

Pax Per Bellum. Peace through war. I belive in that, its hard to have war when your military is crippled. If 2 groups keep fighting eachother, cripple them both, congrats you have peace.

Also

Veni, vidi, vici. It just sounds badass.

I don't remember what it is in latin, but the phrase translates to: If you outlaw catapults, only outlaws will have catapults.

Dunno if I have a favorite, but one I can remember though, Quod facis bene fac. Motto of my old high school.

I like Scotland's motto: Nemo me impune lachessit ("No one trifles with me with impunity")

Fiat justitia ruat caelum (Let Justice be done, though the heavens fall)

De mortuis nil nisi bonum (Speak nothing but good of the dead)

[I'm going from memory here, sorry for any mistakes]

On the topic of latin anyone have any idea what this means ?

Casto noi lapide asterium manto
Alaum raum om

Apparently its what Khan says in metro 2033 "ghosts". I tried translating it, but it didnt work for me, some words arent recognised, others made no sense as a sentance.

Something along those lines, it basically means "remember you will die". It's not a very nice phrase. :glare:
