Favorite latin phrases?

DeletedUser

I am a fan of Latin, and was wondering if anyone else was as well, so post your favorite phrases or Latin quotes here!
"Ex unguibus leonis."
"From the claws of the lion."

I had latin in high school, my favorite part from the class were the stories and proverbs that went with each lesson. :D

"Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam."

I will either find a way, or make one.

Veni, Viti, Vici. -- I came, I saw, I conquered.

Forgive me if I messed up the spelling. I'm not so good at Latin. In fact, my Latin pretty much stops here.
