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.

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 know I'm rubbish, that's why I'm doing your match! |

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). _________________ No longer the General Secretary -- Any queries/questions should be directed to either Brian Bunn (Chairman) or Tony Pietrzyk (Vice Chairman).

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). _________________ No longer the General Secretary -- Any queries/questions should be directed to either Brian Bunn (Chairman) or Tony Pietrzyk (Vice Chairman).
