I took three years of Latin and rememeber little except for an old (yeah! it's got to be old!) Latin idiom Tempus Fugit, sometimes seen inscribed at the top of Grandfather clocks, meaning Time, It Flies.

And what about Caesar sic in omnibus; Brutus sic in at? - or something along those lines.

I used to have a Latin phrase on the masthead of my old Atari (don't laugh) Computer Club's newsletter. I've forgotten the phrase but it roughly translated to "Everybody Needs A Hobby."
