"Mundus disperat" or "Orbis terrarum disperat" depending on whether you prefer speaking about the universe or just the earth.
"Pulcherrima ars est ars destructoris" literally but I think "Pulcherrima ars: ars destructoris" will do better. You can make that choice yourself.

Not entirely sure about the grammar of it, but I've recently given one of my puppets the motto "Eam fregisti, eam emisti". It's supposed to mean "You broke it, you bought it", so if i doesn't could someone help with a better translation?

That would be "you broke her, you bought her". Use "id" instead of "eam". Perhaps using the conjunctive would be better as it's not a real situation. That would lead to "Id fregeristi, id emeristi".

That would come out as "for me knowledge and strenghts comes (as in actually moving) from earth"
"Mea Cognitio et Vis ex Terra Prodeunt"
"Prodeunt" just works better than "Veniunt" from a Latin perspective. You can use "Huis" instead of "Vis" according to the online dictionary I use but it's uncommon and my paper dictionary doesn't mention it. I guess it'd be preclassic, before the transition from the kind of oui sounds to the more modern vi.

This isn't really a motto, but I need an accurate and meaningful Latin translation for the following verses as soon as possible:

"Great beds of sensuous scarlet welcome the return of Apophis."

"Ecstasy is yours!"

Thanks in advance, much appreciated.

I'm curious, what would "Don't get mad, get even" be in Latin? (Google Translate gave it to me as "cras non rabiosus, diam etiam," which I assume is hilariously inaccurate.)

If you want you can use "conplectunt" instead.

I have enough trouble getting that into words my online dictionary has.
Anyway, what you've got apparently translates to "Tomorrow not mad, the goddess too".

"Iratus noli fieri, aequus fi" perhaps? :unsure:

"Do not become mad, become equal/even"

As in "to those who are worthy, take the world"? It's a bit of a grandiose declaration, granted, but we're talking mottoes here not prose.

Thanks a lot, but doesn't that mean Worthy of our World? It doesn't imply conquest or initiative. Sorry if I'm nit picking, then again I didn't give you much to work with.

No. Dignis Nostris is the dative plural. The dative signifies an indirect object, roughly.
