Saturday Night Genealogy Challenge - Google Translate

I have been at the Ohio Genealogical Society Annual Conference this weekend so I am later than usual with my Saturday Night Genealogy Challenge.  The original post with links to the other participants can be found HERE.  The challenge follows with my response:


1) Find some of your favorite sayings, aphorisms, jokes, etc. They can be genealogy-related, or not.

2)  Translate them into Latin using Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&tab=TT)


3)  Share them with us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook status line or Google Plus Stream post (impress your non-genealogy friends with your Latin skills!).

4)  Of course, you could translate the Latin you read (on my blog, or the blogs of others) back into English (or your native language) using Google Translate too to see who was really funny, or mean, or romantic.  If you want to be really fancy, you could translate your sayings into any other language that uses Google Translate and really confuse all of us.

Non potes control aliis actionibus, nisi tua profectae.

As a foot note - I like using google translate with the LOC newspaper site (Chronicling America - http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov) when the newspapers are in German.
