1.
Scio me nihil scire
[scio me nihil scire]
“I know that I don’t know anything,” according to Plato, Socrates said about himself in this way. And he explained this thought: people usually think that they know something, but it turns out that they do not know anything. Thus, it turns out that, knowing about my ignorance, I know more than everyone else. A phrase for those who like to let fog and reflective persons.

[kogito, ergo sum]

Cogito ergo sum is not the only formulation of Descartes's idea. More precisely, the phrase sounds like “Dubito ergo cogito, cogito ergo sum” - “I doubt, then I think; I think, then I exist. " Doubt is, according to Descartes, one of the modes of thinking. Therefore, the phrase can be translated as "I doubt, then I exist."
3. Omnia mea mecum portо
[omnia mea mekum porto]
"I carry everything with me." Roman historians say that in the days of the conquest of the Greek city of Priene by the Persians, the sage Bias walked calmly behind a crowd of fugitives, who were barely carrying heavy property. When asked where his things were, he grinned and said: "Everything that I have, I always carry with me." He spoke Greek, but these words have come down to us in Latin translation.
It turned out, historians add, that he was a real sage; on the way, all the refugees lost their goods, and soon Bias fed them with the gifts that he received, conducting instructive conversations with their inhabitants in cities and villages.
This means that the inner wealth of a person, his knowledge and mind are more important and valuable than any property.
