Which way around is the correct way to say/write “Love conquers all”? I’m not sure if it’s “Amor omnia vincit” or “amor vincit omnia”..

Anybody know how to say “do it for me,” “doing it for me” or “I need to do it for myself?”

Very interesting article! Loved the Famous Latin Phrases.

I have one question, if anyone would be so kind and help me: what does “adduco” mean? What are it’s all meanings?

Thank you so much!

“divide et impera”

meaning divide and rule, not conquer, as is wrong translated in many english books.

because to rule something for a long time is much more difficult than to conquer for a short period.

Romans knew it from their empire, americans realise it just now in Irak.

Oh!
Forgot to add my favorite phrase I recalled from my days in Latin class:

Solo id fac.

I believe it can be translated a couple different ways, but in it’s proper meaning it translates to, “Just Do It.”

It was on a banner that took up half the wall and had a huge Nike swoosh on it.
