...What? Anyway, two reasons for this thread. One, I really like Latin! In fact, a little Latin can be found in a number of my projects, like Patch's last name in Dead Gril Blues. Also, I found out about this game called "Pax Corpus". "Peace Body" on it's own is cool enough, but it turns out this was made from the original Aeon Flux game. Y'know, the one based off the shorts and animated series you felt dirty watching.

And here's a list of phrases from Wikipedia:

My personal favorite would have to be "Oberint dum metuant".
It is a Tale told by an Idiot; Full of Sound and Fury, signifying Nothing.

I looked Pax Corpus up on GameFAQs.com, and guess what? Totally lesbionic game. No, I'm not making it up. The world is made up of women, all men are either dead or brainwashed slaves, and it the manual isn't even remotely subtle about it's lesbianism or it's ties to the original Aeon Flux game.
I've just inspired another project for Tabris, haven't I?
Lord, beer me strength.

Here's a few I like:

alenda lux ubi orta libertas
amor omnibus idem
amor vincit omnia
boni pastoris est tondere pecus non deglubere
cogito ergo sum
compos mentis
contraria contrariis curantur
crescat scientia vita excolatur
errare humanum est
Faber est suae quisque fortunae
falsus in unum, falsus in omnibus

Here's a few of my favorites:

Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges
credo quia absurdum est
condemnant quod non intellegunt
fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt
fiat iustitia et pereat mundus

This one reminds me a little of Tabris:

odi et amo

And here's one I'm sure Chesire would like:

flectere si nequeo superos, Achaeronta movebo
"I think it's...holy water. The tingling sensation means it's working."

Yes, Raven, I have issues.

I found a few good ones:

fortes fortuna adiuvat (this one's the name of an ending in Haunting Ground/Demento)
fortis est veritas
fortis et liber

Here's one I learned in Latin class just today:

Meiko, that delightful girl chaser, has already posted "cogito ergo sum" so I will add a phrase from the lexicon of law (much like compos mentis, another one added by Meiko):

Wait, fuck that, I'm going to cite a randome quote from Wikipedia!

Ignotum per ignotius
