Hey /his/torians. I'm going to get a tattoo in a month with my buddy. The current idea is "sic semper tyrannis" with an image of some kind. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for any tattoos. I was going to do carpe diem but everybody has it. I was also think "from the day we are born we are all walking tither (towards death)" by Seneca. I'm thinking a quote or phrase to live by. Existential, ethical but a good thing to always keep in mind most likely tied in with mortality. Got any good quotes?

Quidquid latine dictum sit altum sonatur
whatever that is said in latin sounds deep
this seems like your understanding of a good tattoo. If you are going that way just get branded with every state seal. Why don't you just tattoo the phrase you live by instead of asking cool latin phrases?
Mortem times: at quomodo illam media boletatione contemnis! Vivere vis: scis enim? Mori times: quid porro? ista vita non mors est? C. Caesar, cum illum transeuntem per Latinam viam unus ex custodiarum agmine demissa usque in pectus vetere barba rogaret mortem, 'nunc enim' inquit 'vivis?' Hoc istis respondendum est quibus succursura mors est: 'mori times: nunc enim vivis?'
tl;dr: Kill yourself

tyrannis is plural dative from tyrannus
so it means "to tyrants"
whole phrase is
sic semper evello mortem tyrannis
>thus I always bring death to tyrants

It is (allegedly) what the plotters shouted as they murder Julius Caesar.
