Some nice Latin sentences. First from our first exam:
Femina mala cum nautis pugnavit magnis cum insidiis, sed viri non deleti sunt.
The evil woman has fought the sailors with much treachery, but the men have not been destroyed.
Magnum est periculum poetae bono, sed si magna cum diligentia scribet, magna bonaque faciet ut turba non timeat.
Great is the danger to the good poet, but if he writes very diligently, he will do great and good things that the crowd will not fear.
Si de periculo cogitabunt, incolae multis taedis et saxis magnis pugnabunt, ne inimicis superarentur. Mali enim poenam dabunt.
If they think about the danger, the inhabitants will fight with many torches and large rocks, lest they be overcome by the enemies. For evil men will pay the penalty.
And demonstrating the efficiency of Latin (as, really, have all of these sentences), conveying in two words what we'd convey in five:
Amari opto.
I want to be loved.

This is clearly Maple's motto---only you need to add "but feed me first" to the expression...
