Veritas vos liberabit. (The truth will set you free.)
Astra non mentiuntur. (The stars will not lie.)
Ubi spiritus est cantus est. (Where there is a soul, there is a song.)
Nil desperandum. (Do not despair.)
Alea jacta est. (The die has been cast.)
Suggestio veri, suggestio falsi. (A suggestion of truth, a suggestion of falsehood.)

Fortes fortuna juvat. (Fortune favors the brave.)
Quod erat demonstrandum. (That which was to be proved.)
