Here are some latin proverbs that I used as segment titles for a song on my solo album.
I. Dum Spiro, Spero *
II. Durate et Vosmet Rebus Servate Secundis **
III. Vincit qui se Vincit ***
"While I breathe, I hope" *
"Carry on and preserve yourselves for better times" **
"He conquers who conquers himself" ***"Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions."
-Aristotle

Hmmm
Thinking about focusing a lot more on my traps then getting this tattoo'ed on the left:
Iuguolo lemma totus.
and this on the right:
Iuguolo lemma totus. Deus mos teneo suus own.
When it's all one phrase it's "Kill them all. God will know his own." in latin. I used a translator... can anyone confirm the validity of it?
