Answer
Hello,

Actually you are asking  not a pair of questions nor a few questions, but the translation of nine phrases!!

So, the only thing I can do as a volunteer of expert of a 100% FREE  site  is to translate just a couple, i.e. a pair, of the sentences you mention.

Here they are:

-“Meae sum fortunae artifex ”(I make my  own luck).

-“Nihil exspecta, omnia obtine” (Expect nothing, get everything).

Best,
Maria
___________________________________________________________________
-I make = ARTIFEX SUM
-my  own = MEAE
-luck = FORTUNAE



-Expect = EXSPECTA
-Nothing = NIHIL
-get = OBTINE
-everything = OMNIA
