"Pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem"
San Francisco Giants fans who regularly braved the unpleasant weather at their stadium, Candlestick Park, had as their slogan, “veni, vidi, vixi.” (I came, I saw, I surivived).

From (PA) First Continental Regiment Flag, Domari Nolo. “I Refuse to be Subjugated”
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges (In the face of arms, the laws fall silent) — Cicero
The context was when roving bands of thugs competed to control Rome

Seemed to fit.
Remember when Beelzebubba returned to Oxford University, the scene of one of his earlier crimes? It is customary on such occasions for the returnee to be honored with a laudation in Latin. The British satirical magazine “Private Eye” published this far-more-appropriate version of that Latin laudation to Clinton at Oxford University.
Wilhelmus Jeffersonius Airplanus Clintonensis, salutamus venerabilis Universitatis Oxoniensis. Quondam Rhodus scholasticus et marijuana non-inhalensis, et ex Bello Vietnamensis non conscriptione excusatus. Subsequentis gubernator respublica Arkansensis et perpetrator criminalis sleazissimus in nomine ‘Aqua Blanca’ scandalus, cum tua uxore Hillarius Rodama Clintesterone.
Etiam legoverus multitudinus cum multae bimbones, Gennifa Flores, Paula Jones, et cetera, et cetera. Satyriasis abnormalis in modo Presidentius Kennedensis. Tua fama extendit per omne mundo pro joggendo, juvando ad saxophonum, et non much else. Esperamus quid pro quo multi richi Americani donabunt muchos dollares ad Universitatem Oxoniensis.
Omnes: Vivat, vivat Clintstone, zaba-daba-doo.

The Latin phrase on our family coat of arms is
Terra Marique Potens
Valiant by land or by sea
“De oppresso liber” – To liberate the oppressed, U.S. Army Green Berets
I would translate this one as “free from the oppressed one.”
Ex alis pugnamus” – We fight on wings, U.S. Army 3rd Aviation Regiment
I don’t really like this one either.
Varro has “ex alis” meaning:
On these hens the feathers are pulled from wings and tail,
Meanwhile Exodus 19:4 has super alas for
how I bare you on eagles’ wings
Et Tu Brute?
