Carpe per diem: (*) motto of the self-employed consultant.

Variant: Ave, Imperator! Lucratori te salutant! (Hail, Caesar! We who are about to get rich, salute you!)

(*) Seize the paycheck.

The only one I remember from childhood is my father’s fondness for NON ILLEGITIMIS CARBORUNDUM, usually rendered as “Don’t let the bastards grind you down” (which a second year Latin pupil ought to be able to express more grammatically.)

my brother would quote this when he saw a pretty woman…

Vidi, vici, veni.

I can’t remember how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6 and 500 in Roman numerals

I M LIVID
