Very nice!
Could you translate into Latin:
"You need only two things: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and
it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape"?

(Thanks to Prohero, Sluggy, and the Loch-ruadh list for bringing this
one to my attention.)

I have come across some expressions that seem good, translated into
Latin. I thought they might make some interesting mottos.  What do you
think?
