Who said it?

[DeepComet5581]

A Canadian friend of mine who can speak latin told me that Qui Bono is a dog-latin misrendering, so do you mean Cui Bono?

If so, I remember hearing it in the film The Departed, where Captain George Ellerby (Played by Alec Baldwin) says "Cui Bono?", to which Colin Sullivan (Played by Matt Damon) replies "Cui gives a ***t. It's got a freakin' bow on it."

It's also the Latin motto of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika (Justice League)

Edit:
My friend has told me that;
Cui Bono means: Who benefits?
Qui Bono means: Who with good?

If you do mean Qui Bono then I have no idea what you're on about.

Yes, I was using a mistaken rendering it seems. Since I never studied latin I hope my error can be forgiven.

I believe the phrase was coined by the roman orator Cicero.

[DeepComet5581]

I forgive you for your mistake.

I suspect it was coined by Cicero, as he was considered a master of words. Despite this he, like all roman orators, historians and physicians has been completely trampled by modern language, technology and culture.

Ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas

The Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso, known as Ovid.

I know that it means "Although the power is lacking, the will is commendable".

heres an easy one: "I'm sick of these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane."

[Jubal]

[Silver Wolf]

This one is easy :
"In hoc signo vinces"

[DeepComet5581]

hmmm... It was used by the original Order of the Templars, but... I THINK it was probably first used by Emperor Constantine.

[Silver Wolf]

Yep it means "In this sign you will conquer"... The legend says that Constantine saw a sign of cross on the sky before the battle of Milvian Bridge
