quote: Originally posted by Alexnm Another famous one: "Delenda Carthago est", or "Delenda est Carthago" (it makes no difference). Scipio, the African, always used that expression on his speeches against Carthago. By the way, it means "May Carthago be destroyed" or "Carthago must be destroyed" (depending on the subtlety of interpretation )

Actually it was not Scipio the African, but Cato the Elder that used this quote

I like my own "Si vis pacem, para bellum".
A translation could be "If you want peace, prepare your self to war".
And I know my english is as bad as my latin.

Thanks

But for the second sentence I was trying "You are dead." Not "You will be dead"

quote: i donno...i always thought the most appropiate latin quote for civ was "Veni Vidi Vici"

No the correct version is:

Those who never came, didn't see anything and were never defeated .

Martinus:in that case the second sentence was ok(...es),I just thought you meant the other.

Ok now I think it's time to close this.

Martinus: see my answer to shade, above.

To all: yeah, let's close this thread. It reminds me of when I was studying Greek, some years ago, and that brings me tender memories and... well, I gotta stop now...
