I particularly like the one found on an ancient Roman tombstone: "Non carborundum illigitimi." Or don't let the bastards grind you down.

Kinda my motto some days. :)

No, I'm afraid that one only goes back to World War 2.  http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxillegi.html  Among other things, "carborundum" is a trade name that didn't exist in ancient Rome!

What does the phrase uva uvam vivendo varia fit mean?
"it is better to have a
gun and never need it, than to need a gun and not have it.".

I read somewhere that the motto of the Tunnel Rats in Viet Nam was "Non Grantum Anus Rodentum" or in english "We don't give a rat's @$$"

Plaque on the original Playboy Mansion: "Non ossilatus, non tintinarim". (sp?) or "If you don't swing, don't ring".
