It's "panem et circenses" in Juvenal because he's saying "The people want bread and circuses." Just a basic declaration of "Bread and roses!" should definitely be nominative.

That would also make the motto "Panis et Rosae", which would take the motto too far, IMO, from the original for there to be the effect of looking familiar.

Chances are I'll need this at some point.

"veritas et pertinacia"

I just want to verify that this is grammatically correct, and spelled right.

Perhaps; it was nearly two months ago so he's probably not going to see it anyway. I just wanted to clear up any confusion for future readers.

Mind translating "All of you who wonder, come"?

I've been using an online translator with a... questionable reputation.

If anyone can get "The Market Above All" or "Profit Through Endurance" translated, you would have my thanks, and one Gawdzendian Favour.*

If we take it the other way around, what would this
translate to in english, and is it correct latin?

"She is my great grace" could be one possible translation. "My grace is great" is probably better. Do you have any context perhaps?

I played a little with *hrrm cough-couch* google translate...
'My grace is great' would be the result that I'm looking for. Is it a correct translation?

"Si non possis invenire, quod quaeris, fortasse potes invenire aliquid adaeque bonum."
"Possis" is the subjunctive making the if-clause an irrealis. Basically it means "In the highly unlikely instance you can't find..."

Thought you may enjoy that one.

Beyond that, though... "Don't mess with engineers". Which, as far as I can translate, Operor non nuntius per (Engineers)?
