scisne latine?Clue is in the title!
Anyone who knows what it means can answer me in the language it was written.
I need to brush up on this language, so a few quotes/sayings will be put down when I feel they are relevant... so if I answer in this language and you do not understand, let me know and I'll translate it for you.
The first one I will post is:
bonis nocet quisqus malis perpercit

Correct: "Whoever spares the bad injures the good"
 that really doesn't surprise me missj considering your signature Just never deny it to me personally please
Okay... I think you'll get this one, but here goes:
Fastigia, quae illustres apisi sunt, non subito volandi victi sunt;
Illi autem, comitibus dormientibus, sursum laborabunt in nocte.
Let me know what you think it is? (Or anyone else that thinks they know.)

Something like;
The heights that illustrious men have attained were not conquered by sudden flight. But they, the companions sleeping, were working upward in the night.

I cannot believe you see me that way already! I've barely made an impact on this League, and yet you've got me right already!! 
And I think the first word should be "Durum", but not entirely sure (after racking my brains for a while I eventually remembered! - And yes, I have got some, thank you).

missj

Think what's been said should be translated for those that don't know what we're talking about!
dum spiramus, libertam defendabimus = "While we breathe, we shall defend freedom"
Durum hoc est sed ita lex scripta est = "It's tough, but that's how the law is written" (that's how I read it anyway... it could mean "That's tough, but the law is written"... same meaning basically).
