It's Latin.  I believe it means "salient point" which, in more simple terms would be "key argument".

Bellum confectum est (the war has ended)\nBellum compositum est (the war has finished by agreement)\n\nThese phrases are taken from Latin authors such as Caesar and Cicero.

Your English sentence is very poor. You probably mean something like this: One who thinks only about the score is a fool => Celui qui ne pense qu'aux points est un imbécile.\n\nP.S. Beware of online translators. The translation quoted by A Believer!!! is all wrong!!!

I agree with the suggestion "quaere sapientiam" = seek wisdom\n\n"literate" is a variant spelling of "litterate" which can mean "elegantly", "literally", "cleverly" .\n "humaniores" is referring to those who are "more human", "more refined"\nso the phrase probably means "elegantly more refined"\n\nHowever you may have misquoted "Literae Humaniores" which refers to the study of Classics (also known as the Humanities), and may be translated as "more refined scholarship."

It is quis, and it means\n\nQuis (Who) custodiet (guards v.) ipsos (themselves) custodes (the guards)\n\ni.e. Who guards the guards themselves?\nSometimes translated as who watches the watchers\n\nIt is not who shall/will guard; custodiet is in the present, not the future.

As you point out, there is no punctuation in the original Greek; therefore, any and all punctuation has to be deduced from the text and from the Bible.\n\nThe verse in question, from the KJV, says the following:\n\n(Luke 23:43 KJV)  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.\n\nSo, as has been mentioned above, Jesus was not in "paradise" on that day.  So, if we keep the punctuation as the KJV has it, then you make Jesus a liar.\n\nBut Lawrence, you say, why did the KJV translators, or whomever, put the comma there?\n\nVery good question.\n\nChristiandom, at large, as the common belief that when one dies, they receive their reward immediately, either heaven or hell.\n\nSince Jesus was the most righteous man ever to live on earth, then certainly *He* would go immediately to heaven.\n\nBut did He?  No, He himself says on resurrection morning that He had not gone to the Father yet.  He did not have a conscious experience during the time He was dead.\n\nSo, if He didn't go to paradise on that Friday, why would He declare to the thief that the thief would be with Him?\n\nAgain, because of the common belief that when one dies, one receives his/her reward.  That is the *only* reason that comma is there.\n\nSo you either have Jesus a liar, or minimally, you have a verse that doesn't make sense.\n\nSo, how can it be made sensible?\n\nBy changing the comma to after "today," like this:\n\n(Luke 23:43 KJV)  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee To day, shalt thou be with me in paradise.\n\nDoes that now make sense?  Yes, Jesus said "To day" that the thief would be with Him in paradise.\n\nSo it is a very simple case of allowing the scriptures to interpret itself.  Having agreed to the fact that the KJV makes, or perpetuates, the error, I would like to say that by and large, the KJV is extremely faithful to the Greek and Hebrew.\n\nLawrence\nhttp://www.truebiblesermons.com

How about something from Latin, such as "carpe diem" which means "seize the day" or "tempus fugit" which means "time flies" or "facta non verba" which means "deeds not words" or "cogito ergo sum" which means "I think, therefore I am"?\n\nThese links may help.

"Nullum effugium!" (no way out!) might suit your purposes. However the versions that would be more in the Classical Latin style are as follows.\n\nFieri non potest ut effugiamus \n- it is not possible for us to escape.\n\nNullo modo fieri potest ut effugiam \n- there is no way for me to escape. \n\nNequimus effugere\n- we cannot escape

Oxymoron\n\nThe Oxford English Dictionary defines oxymoron this way:\nA rhetorical figure by which contradictory or incongruous terms\nare conjoined so as to give point to the statement or expression;\nan expression in its superficial or literal meaning self-\ncontradictory or absurd, but involving a point.\n\nAnother of my favorite reference works, The Oxford Companion to the English Language, has a slightly more readable entry:\n\n    A term in rhetoric for bringing opposites together in a compact\n    paradoxical word or phrase: bittersweet; be cruel to be kind; a\n    cheerful pessimist. The term is often used for social comment,\n    both humorously or cynically (such as calling military\n    intelligence a contradiction in terms).\n\nOxymoron has an interesting etymology. In ancient Greece oxus meant "sharp; pointed" and moros meant "dull; stupid; foolish." So the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron, literally meaning something like "a sharp dullness" or "pointed foolishness." Technically, the correct plural form of the word is oxymora, but so many people say oxymorons that it is now generally regarded as an acceptable usage. I use both forms of the words, depending on the audience.\n\nThe word first made its appearance in the English language in 1640, when an English cleric named Brother Reynolds made reference to "a bold and true oxymoron of Seneca." For many centuries, it was an obscure word, familiar only to classical scholars and students of rhetoric. When I graduated from high school in 1960, for example, I didn't have a clue about what it meant. Several months later, during my freshman year at the University of North Dakota, I recall an English professor introducing the word in her class. For almost all of us, it was the first time we had heard the word. We delighted in the examples she cited: pretty ugly, old news, and serious fun.\n\nDuring the 1960s and 70s, the word began to be used with increasing frequency, especially in college environments, but it was still an uncommon word. Then, in 1986, Warren S. Blumenfeld published a small book titled Jumbo Shrimp and Other Almost Perfect Oxymorons. Blumenfeld, a professor at Georgia State University, defined oxymorons as "contradictory expressions that make absolute sense." Even though the book was written in an overly-cutesy style, it made a quite a splash. Articles about oxymorons began appearing in newspapers all over the country and Blumenfeld was a frequent guest on radio talk shows. As much as anybody, this otherwise little-known Georgia professor helped make oxymoron the household word it is today. In 1989, he published a sequel titled, Pretty Ugly: More Oxymorons and Other Illogical Expressions That Make Absolute Sense. In that book he described the object of his interest this way:\nAn oxymoron is two concepts (usually two words)\nthat do not go together but are used together.\nIt is the bringing together of contradictory expressions.\n\nThe New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics adds a fascinating dimension to our understanding of oxymoron when it links it to another important literary and rhetorical device: paradox:\nA figure of speech which yokes together\ntwo seemingly contradictory elements.\nOxymoron is thus a form of condensed paradox.\n\nA condensed paradox? How interesting that the terms oxymoron and paradox, not normally mentioned in the same breath, are actually quite closely related. Let's take a closer look at it.\n\nParadox\n\nParadox is a concept with a long and rich history in literary and intellectual circles. And, while almost all literate people are familiar with the word, it is also true that most of them have trouble defining what it means. Before reading on, give it a shot. Try to describe the meaning of paradox in a few simple words. Ask a couple of friends or family members to try it as well. Don't be surprised if some pretty intelligent people stumble ov

A humiliore is a Latin term for a citizen of a city, so my guess would be you are talking about a Roman colosseum and gladiatorial combat of some sort, but your question is kind of vague, so I cannot be sure that's what you are asking.

Solus Deus me iudicare licet.\n\nDeus is male gender and first case (nominative) - so the adjective has to be male gender and first case as well, not neutral gender or accusative as solum would indicate.\n\nI chose a different verb that implicates that only God is capable and allowed to judge me.\n\nQuod licet Jovis non licet bovis ~ What Jupiter can do, the bull is not allowed to do.

It gets its name from Doctor Pangloss in Voltaire's Candide.  His belief was that all things happen for the best and that we live in the best of possible worlds.  Voltaire himself plainly doesn't believe this and events in the book contrive to prove otherwise.

It is figurative language. This sentence is saying that knowledge or recognition is a flash of light.  One thing is another - a metaphor.
