[OT] Anyone skilled in latin here?

[BoGGiT]

Are there anyone here who could translate this simple phrase from english to latin;

"May they hate me, as long as they fear me"

 

[Abel Kane]

Oderint dum metuant

EDIT: thanks! That was what i was looking for.

This is one of my favorite Latin phrases...

Even better than "Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant," IMO.

Really? "Morituri te salutant" comes in second for me, right after "Veni, vedi, veci"...

Bah. I don't want salutes from those who are about to die.

The best salutes are forTHOSE ABOUT TO ROCK!!!

Now I am curious... anymore "not so common" latin sayings ?

How would I say: "Your house or my house ?" Latin come-ons !!

 

[Telgian]

I've always been fond of this one:
Quod libet jovis, non licet bovis.


Telgian.
(Who hopes that the spellings presented are the correct ones.)

Translation please ?

I found my Welsh family also has a coat of arms (along with the Irish), and also a Latin motto. So while we're on the topic, could someone translate the following?

Vita brevis, gloria aeterna

I think it means something like "Life is short, glory is forever". True warrior's words!
