My favorite (and the longest one I know) comes from the Middle Ages, and is in Latin.  Saint Martin was travelling through France to Rome.  While on the road, he encountered the Devil, who began to tease him relentlessly.  After a few miles of this treatment, Saint Martin was so incensed that he beat Satan with his walking stick -- upon which Satan turned into a donkey.\n\nThis is why it's accurate to describe the devil as a French A**.  Just kidding.\n\nIn any case, upon his transformation, the Devil cried:\n\nSigna te signa; temere me tangis et angis;\nRoma tibi subito motibus ibit Amor.\n\nThis is a palindrome, and means "Make the sign of the cross and do it again; you vex and bother me without reason.  Soon you will reach Rome, the object of your wishes."  Seeing a ripe opportunity, Saint Martin jumped on the donkey's back and rode him to the Eternal City (and the donkey became Pope!  Just kidding).\n\nTo this you might reply: "Devil never even lived."  As for the author, he was distracted.  "God, a red nugget!  A fat egg under a dog!"  -- this is what I heard he said last.

It's true -- a lot of these words seem to come from Latin -- which had a love affair with the V (in vino veritas; veni, vidi, vici).  However, vim, vigor and voluptous are rather nice words of power and excess.\n\nMaybe it's the little buzz you get when a "v" passes through your lips?\n\nVast.  Victory. Vanity.  Hmmm. They all do have a little sting to them, don't they?

No, that's not correct.  Illum is "that thing," which is not the function of "that" in your sentence.  Furthermore, "Dilectio" is not the correct form of the verb (you need a command), and is more "choose" or "pick," rather than "love."\n\nI'd guess it's something like:\n\nAma vitam quam vivis. \n\nPlural would be:\n\nAmate vitas quam vivitis.  - Love the lives that you live.  This doesn't sound quite correct; I'd probably say: Amate vitam quam vivitis.\n\nEDIT: Spelling mistake on vivis (originally wrote vives; contamination from Spanish).

I Have three different versions of The Hippocratic Oath. Hope they help. I also have stuff on Primum non nocere(First, Do no harm).\n\nPrimum non nocere\nPrimum non nocere is a Latin phrase that means "First, do no harm." The phrase is sometimes recorded as primum nil nocere.\nIt is one of the principal precepts all medical students are taught in medical school. It reminds a physician that he or she must consider the possible harm that any intervention might do. It is most often mentioned when debating use of an intervention with an obvious chance of harm but a less certain chance of benefit.\nSince at least 1860, the phrase has been a hallowed expression for physicians of hope, intention, humility, and recognition that human acts with good intentions may have unwanted consequences.\nThe origin of the phrase is not widely known; contrary to popular belief, the phrase is not in the Hippocratic Oath. However, it is often described as a Latin paraphrase by Galen of a Hippocratic aphorism (despite the fact that Galen also wrote in Greek rather than Latin); yet no specific mention in Galen's writings has been reported. The closest approximation to the phrase that can be found in the Hippocratic Corpus is "to help, or at least to do no harm," taken from Epidemics, Bk. I, Sect. XI.\nAccording to Gonzalo Herranz, Professor of Medical Ethics at the University of Navarre, Primum non nocere was introduced into American and British medical culture by Worthington Hooker in his 1847 book, Physician and Patient. Hooker attributed it to the :Parisian pathologist and clinician Auguste François Chomel (1788–1858), the successor of Läennec in the chair of medical pathology, and the preceptor of Pierre Louis. Apparently, the axiom was part of Chomel's oral teaching. :—"The origin of primum non nocere." British Medical Journal electronic responses and commentary, 1 September 2002.\nHowever, close examination reveals that Hooker did not use the specific expression or the traditional Latin phrase. A detailed investigation of the origins of the aphorism was reported by the clinical pharmacologist Cedric M. Smith in the April issue of the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. It addresses the questions of the origin and chronology of appearance of the maxim. Rather than being of ancient origin as usually assumed, the specific expression, and its even more unique associated Latin phrase, has been traced back to an attribution to Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689) in a book by T. Inman (1860). The book by Inman, and his attribution, was reviewed by "H.H." in the American Journal of Medical Science in the same year. A prominent American surgeon, L.A. Stimson, used the expression in 1879 and again in 1906 (in the same journal). That it was in common use by the turn of the century is apparent from later mentions, such as by the prominent obstretician J. Whitridge Williams in 1911, as well as detailed discussion of its use in a popular book authored by Dr. Morris Fishbein, the long-time editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1930.\n\n"First, do no harm": Not in the Hippocratic Oath \nIt is a widely held misconception that the familiar dictum "First, do no harm" comes from the Hippocratic Oath, an oath many physicians take when they enter medical practice.\nHowever, the Hippocratic Oath does not and never did contain those words (nor was it actually written by Hippocrates, according to many sources). It expresses a similar idea, but never employs the words "First, do no harm." \nIt is the opinion of many scholars that Hippocrates did, in fact, originate the phrase, but did so in his Epidemics, Bk. I, Sect. XI. One translation reads: "Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future; practice these acts. As to diseases, make a habit of two things — to help, or at least to do no harm."\nThe Greek "First, do no harm" becomes "Pr

It is derived from the Latin word "Nihil", which means "nothing". The Nihilists championed the independence of the individual and shocked the Russian establishment. Those ideas had a political impact, as they opposed servitude and demanded democratic reforms. Nihilists were denounced as agitators, and after the killing of Tsar Alexander II they became known in the Western Europe as preconizers of destruction as the primary tool for political change.

When people use these common expressions, it's hard to tell if they really mean it. \nI'd say it sounds more like "Nos vemos" than "Quiero verte".\nUnless it's accompanied by an actual proposal (time and place).
