Try this;
"Together through the ages of the world we have fought the long defeat"

Also, my earlier "colours of the world" is a song lyric sung by Enjolras from the musical Les Miserables.

The colours of the world are changing day by day...
Red, the blood of angry men
Black, the dark of ages past
Red, A world about to dawn
Black, a night that fades at last!

Nisi Alexander essem, vellem esse Diogenes.
Who said that?

DeepComet5581 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 10, 2009, 11:29:43 PM »

Alexander the Great (Thank you history books!)

Yep ... but this one is very hard : Quaero hominem !

hint : that man was walking in the middle of the day with a lamp in his hands... Then one man came to him ad asked him what is he doing and he said those words

Thanks to a philosophical debate I had with one of my friends, I not only know that the person who said that is Evgenii Goligin, but that Quaero Hominem means "I am looking for man".

Do you want me to tell you the secret of the lamp

Silver Wolf · « **Reply #43 on:** June 11, 2009, 02:56:40 PM »

It was Diogenes
take a look at proverb 16 : http://books.google.hr/books?id=l08tpkOOdNQC&pg=RA1-PA321&lpg=RA1-PA321&dq=Quaero+hominem+diogenes&source=bl&ots=TJvVbNYGkf&sig=nKL_hFvb-i_kgq3SA_MuaVMO_TI&hl=hr&ei=ajgwSs7tGoPFsgao26iADQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5
Our Latin professor told us that story....
