Added another pattern to the Latin Motto Generator:

There are a few other patterns I am considering, but it is difficult to create something that would work with a lot of different words while staying in the realm of plausible meanings.

Added a list of Latin legal maxims. Still working on it, but it's already a pretty good looking collection. The ability of Latin to state the obvious with force and conviction is unmatched. Horace knew it well :)
