Does anybody have the interpretation of the Latin that was on Gus's sign?

I particularly like the one found on an ancient Roman tombstone: "Non carborundum illigitimi." Or don't let the bastards grind you down.

Kinda my motto some days. :)
All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. -- T.K. Whipple

No, I'm afraid that one only goes back to World War 2.  http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxillegi.html  Among other things, "carborundum" is a trade name that didn't exist in ancient Rome!

What does the phrase uva uvam vivendo varia fit mean?
"it is better to have a
gun and never need it, than to need a gun and not have it.".
;D

I read somewhere that the motto of the Tunnel Rats in Viet Nam was "Non Grantum Anus Rodentum" or in english "We don't give a rat's @$$"

Plaque on the original Playboy Mansion: "Non ossilatus, non tintinarim". (sp?) or "If you don't swing, don't ring".
"If you can't be part of the solution, at least don't be part of the problem"
"America is too great for small ideas"
"Trust in The Lord, but keep yer powder dry"
"America bless God"
"There ain't no sucha thing as a free lunch!"
