Despite the fact that I love John's mottos (they're CRAZY, Ivan!), and believe that we've found the subject for Joy's next contest, I have my own proposals:

Gryffindor:
We could be heroes, just for one day (Can you tell I saw Moulin Rouge last night? Yes, I loved it; no my husband didn't like it one bit!)

Ravenclaw:
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditiones habes. (roughly translated, from Henry Beard's Latin for All Occasions, it means if you can read this, you're overeducated)

Hufflepuff:
We put the "toil" in "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble..." (hint: if the first two bubbles are gryff & ravenclaw...)

Slytherin:
Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam. (translated, I have a catapult - give me all your money or I'll fling an enormous rock at hour head - again, Henry Beard)
