did the quote actually originate from someone, or was The Godfather the first place it was used?

The origin of the term is disputed. One theory customarily held by persons not from New England claims that it originated from the Dutch in old New Amsterdam (today known as New York City) in the Mid-Atlantic States. It then was adopted by the British as a pejorative for (Northern) colonists. The origin might have been the phrase Jan Kees ("John Cornelius") (two very common Dutch names), which the English-speaking people picked up as "yankees", a word they used to refer to the Dutch.

Roughly translated, it goes something like this (one of your words is a bit off, so I had to guess):\n\nBeware those men!  They will certainly drag us into a neighboring house and kill us there.  But in error, for Marcus having been upset by fear after he heard Sextus shouting, fell to the ground and lay in the inexorable dirt.\n\n"Hold on!" one of the robbers shouted.  "Where do you go, small one?  What is your name? Aren't you the son of a senator? Isn't your name Marcus Cornelius?"\n\nTo whom Marcus replied, "What do you want, accursed ones?  I have no money.  Do not beat me.  If you hurt me, my father will certainly punish you."\n\nBut the robber interrupted, "Be silent, boy.  You are our captive and (radibis? - we will not return) you to your father.  No one will be able to save you now.  For I will kill you myself."

I suspect it's supposed to be something like "Quod quondam iterum ego vado, in profundis vorago existimo iaci" which means something like "Whichever path I travel (in the past, in the future, sometimes), I judge myself to be thrown into a profound pit."\n\nIt didn't make much sense to me in the first version…I suspect it's a bad computer translation.

I think it was coined by Martin Lawrence, the same man who gave us "You go, Girl!"\n\nCave\n\np.s.---Just found this:\n\n"In the case of "don't go there," the earliest citation for the phrase in print in the Oxford English Dictionary comes from an interview with comedian Martin Lawrence in Entertainment Weekly back in February 1994. At the time the star of the highly-rated Fox sitcom "Martin," Lawrence took the opportunity to complain, oddly enough, that his material was being stolen by other Fox shows: \n\n"Something ain't right," Lawrence says, removing his sunglasses. ... "We started using the expressions 'You go, girl!' and 'Don't go there!' and no one in television was doing that. No one. Now a lot of Fox shows are using the same stuff and the same premises."

Here's the quote:  "If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."\n\nIf you look at the link below, you'll see that this was attributed to Benjamin Franklin in a book of quotations, but that it is unverified.

Yes it is from Latin!-An "ad literam" translation means:"omni=any" and "modo=way,style...etc".The sense is given by the entire expression!
