Post your favorite Latin motto!

Because it's cool!

My current favorite one is "Per audacia af Astra" from bungie aero space. In case you wantv to make your own: http://translate.google.com/

Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.

Suum cuique. Prussia's motto.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

"Nemo Me Impune Lacessit" Courtesy of the Black Watch. It means "No one provokes me with impunity"

Who watches the watchmen?

CREEPERI NON SINIS EXPLODIT, my Minecraft motto.

It means "Don't let the Creepers blow it up!"

VIVA LA RAZA!

The motto mentioned by the OP isn't a million miles from "Per ardua ad astra", which is the Royal Air Force motto.

"Well, it's a lifestyle"

"Scientia est potentia."

Invictus.

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

Thank you for helping find this gem, TVTropes.

Semper fidelis usque ens autem nocivum

Guess what it means.

yey

Mors certa, hora incerta.

Alternatively, look at my title.

Aww, did I hurt your widdle fee-fees?

For some reason it was also used as a sort of motto by the regiment I was in during my conscription time... which would't be so werid except for the fact that it was a medical regiment, making the motto rather unfitting, heh.

Anyway, see sig: Justitia fiat, ruat caelum - Let justice be done, even though heaven falls.

Or the previous sig: Lex iniustia non est lex - An unjust law is no law.

Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken. Unrelated ME1 Fanfic

Audaces fortuna juvat.

Fortune favours the bold.

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

Sic Semper Tyrannis: It's a badass motto.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

@ Game Chainsaw: Reminds me of Crusader Kings, too.

I also like the Spanish motto Plus ultra.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

For the poor idiots who don't speak Latin, any indication to translations for some of these?

''Semper fidelis usque ens autem nocivum'' means "Always faithful even while being harmful"

yey

Nullus Anxietas (now worries [mate]). Or, while on the Disc Fabricati Diem, Pvnk

On that note, I hate "Carpe Diem" it's such a cliche these days.

the statement above is false

Non serviam.

Enjoy the Inferno...

Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes

If any question why we died/ Tell them, because our fathers lied -Rudyard Kipling

NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT.

That's the motto of the Order of the Thistle and a regiment I served with for a while.

It translates as 'No one attacks me with impunity' or 'touch me and I'll break you'.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'

"Per ardua ad astra" means something like "The way to the stars is not easy." Hence the appeal to the RAF.

"Well, it's a lifestyle"

I first met that in Wachmen, where it's "Per Dolorem Ad Astra" (the path to stars is full of suffering)

the statement above is false

Sum homo, es mus.

(Been a while since I did Latin, it's an insult)

{Edit: Jethro, your line literally says "Through pain to the stars" - captainbrass's is something like through adversity to the stars.}

To my knowledge, ardua is "strife" in English?
