here the translations:
aut Caesar aut nihil - either Caesar or nothing pecunia non olet - money does not smell amor vincit omnia - love conquers all audaces fortuna iuvat - fortune favors the brave acte non verba - deeds, not words alea iacta est - the die is cast manus manum lavat - one hand washes the other aquila non capit muscas - the eagle does not catch flies si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war simia est simia, etiamsi purpura vestiatur - a monkey is a monkey, even if dressed in purple quod licet Iovi, non, non licet bovi - what is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to the ox qualis rex, talis grex - as the king so the people carpe diem - seize the day |

you probably mean "e pluribus unum" meaning "out of many, one" |

"quid pro quo" is quite similar to "manus manum lavat"

I've always had my doubts about that one.
A lot of people seem to exist although I'm pretty sure they don't think. |

Sieht aus wie Latein, ist es aber nicht - Looks like Latin but isn't. it should actually be "situs vilate ines et e ver net". because the German dialect emulated here is Kölsch, the dialect spoken in Cologne, the city Friede and I live in Edited by BaldJean - July 23 2016 at 15:30 |

I have another one for Dutch speakers: MARCVS·AVRELIVS·AD·LIVERAS·PERGES·ASSVRE·AVGVR·CIES [Non-Dutch speakers should press Ctrl-A or click and drag in this post]. For non-Dutch speakers: This should be read as: Marcus Aurelius at liever asperges als zure augurkjes. In English: Marcus Aurelius ate asparagi rather than sour gherkins.

Alas, my two favourite Latin sayings are not in the list!
- Qui habet aures, audendi - Homo sapiens non urinat in ventem (or "ventum"? I don't remember very well my lessons of Latin grammar) |
