My favorite Latin quote is “Oderint dum metuant.” But that is more applicable to International politics.

My favorite Latin phrase is my tagline.

Julius Caesar in his Gallic Commentaries said

"Quae Cum Ita Sunt."

"Since these things are so."

My favorite was sent to Governor Palin the other day:

ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Resp Ipsa Loquitor. (the facts speak for themselves)

Of course that's Res ipsa loquitur. I shouldn't be casting stones, but seeing resp written for res gives me the shudders.
