Exitus Acta Probat – ‘The result justifies the deed.’— Ovid
This sentence is pretty straight forward. “The ending/result, the deed esteems or justifies”
Fiat Lux – ‘Let there be light.’— Old Testament ‐ Genesis 1:3 [Vulgate Latin Bible]
While this was not originally a Latin phrase, I would like to say that more people were introduced to the Bible through Latin. Fiat is the jussive subjunctive form of the verb facio (to make, to build, sometimes to be). The English translation of “Let BLANK happen” is the general translation of the jussive.
