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"

In vino veritas.  (in wine, the truth)

As for non-standard Latin (sometimes called Dog Latin), "Non illegitimus carborundum" or variations thereon.  (don't let the b*****ds grind you down)

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

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.

what is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to the ox is pretty funny

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)
