Let's see if Y/you remember Y/your Latin (all Y/you old Catholics, lmao) or can Google with the best of T/them.
 
Here's my sentence:
 
Abutebaris modo subjunctivo denuo.

I'll do the next one; I borrowed it from Ron: "Nihil deest ad regnandum praeter regnum."

But no one ever did "Nihil deest ad regnandum praeter regnum."

Status: offline 		That's supposed to mean "Give me a hamburger, French fries, and a thick milk shake."  Not too good.  Literally, it means "Please give me a morsel of roast beef, tuberous nightshades roasted in the French style, and a fat coagulated milky act of shaking."

And it should be "frustum," not "frustrum."  I see it written "frustrum" on the net, but that's wrong.

I'm kind of too pooped to invent a saying in Latin, so I'll let someone else go.

I know NO Latin, except that horribly bastardized legal latin "we" use.  So, here goes:

Propriety forbids My translating that, but lets just say that it tells a man that his ejaculative fluids taste like old bivalves.

Nemo estares viventes.
 
E.

And of course LaM knows Latin.  Of course. *smile*

"What's for breakfast? What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?"
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.

I would loosely translate it as: their silence speaks volumes but I guess a more literal translation is when they are silent, they shout.
