Latin Phrases

A new interest has started in me and it is Latin phrases. So here are a few that I have found interesting:

Cogito ergo sum doleo — I think, therefore I am depressed

Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt — When catapults are outlawed, only outlaws will have catapults

Sic hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis
propinquus ades
— If you can read this bumper sticker, you are both very well educated, and much too close

Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur. — Oh! Was I speaking Latin again? Silly me. Sometimes it just sort of slips out.
