dominion: what's your sig mean? I think I've seen that quote in an ad for a computer game, but I can't remember which one...
It's Latin. There are lots of great quotes in Latin. There are various ways to translate any given saying, of course.
'Corruptissima republica, plurimae leges' = "The more corrupt the goverment, the more laws it has" or "The more corrupt the state, the more laws proliferate" and a few other variations.
'Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges' = "In the face of arms the law is silent" -- i.e., having the law on your side doesn't help if the other guy has got the guns.
