Thanks, Doc! You're right, that was the other alternative... I'll go with "ludi" as it matches the original's "mori".joethekoeller said:

A high school dropout has his reasons; Preparing for a zombie outbreak just happens to be one of them.
"You draw the sharpened blade across my brow, then wonder why i cannot see"

Morituri de Salutant
Hopefully that translates to "We who are about to die salute." I'm not sure what it actually translates to. When I was in college I'd write this on top of tests that I was especially unprepared for. The professors in question always responded and in amusing ways.

Ancient gladiators before fighting saluted in this way either all of viewers or just elite, I don't quite remember.Gene O said:
Still, it is pretty energetic phrase.
Life is only boring if you allow it to be.
I'm sure some famous person said that at some point, but I thought of it without reading it, so it counts.
Advice of others that is worth taking:
"Never have a battle of wits with someone who's unarmed."
-My French teacher
"The more that you can give it, then the more it will be
And if you do not have it, you can take it from me
All we ever wanted was a thing to believe,
And now that we have found it, we have all that we need."
-Andrew W.K. (He never really defines "it" in the song, but it's pretty easy to get what he's saying)
"The question isn't who is going to let me, it's who is going to stop me."
-Ayn Rand (My favorite quote)
"I swear by my life, and love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine."
-Ayn Rand
Plus any number of things Winston Churchill said.

Oi, the poem is Dulce et Decorum Est (excuse the spelling), which was written by Wilfred Owen. It's a WW1 poem mocking the saying.
I actually don't have a personal saying. If I must, it'd be:
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."
I find it especially useful when a flame war is going on...
