"Quod medicamenta non sanat, ferrum sanat; quod ferrum non sanat, ignis sanat."

What is not cured by medicine is cured by iron (sword); what is not cured by iron(the sword), is cured by fire"
meaning: if peaceful means don't work, you should resort to war, and if the enemy won't surrender to Roman power, utterly destroy his cities...
Not sure I agree :)
PS Of course you know Latin is not spoken in Latin America:) Don't listen to everyone here on Answers: some of us are well-intended, others are pulling your leg!

What medication doesn’t cure, iron will, what iron doesn’t cure, fire will.
Meaning:
What cannot be healed by the doctor, by civil means, will be taken care of by the sword, by war
what cannot be cured by the sword, will finally be burned, purified or destroyed by fire.
You are welcome

"diabolus ianuam (foramen???) ecclesiae latet" : 'Satan lurks at the church door opening" (In medieval times the door on the north side of a church was known as "the Devil’s Door". It was believed that evil spirits lurked to the sunless side of the church and this exit was only used by pallbearers leaving a funeral service carrying a coffin. Later on, it was common to inter dissenters on the north side of the church.)

Take Dan Quayle's advice and ask a Latin American to translate it for you!
