Mine shall say one of the following.

'TTL expired'

'Dig here for a good time'

'Elvis is really dead! I'm hanging out with him right now.'

Guess what? Yep, that's right. No, no, really, it's right. Think it's wrong? You're right, it's wrong. Know why? 'Cause it is

-The second I don't get. "They all hurt, the last kills" or "They hurt everything, he kills the last". The first option is more probable, but what is "they"?

I haven't studied Latin yet, but this is what they're supposed to mean, or what they've been translated as.
The first one is a traditional maxim, and should mean:
"Whatever you do, do it wisely and keep in mind your purpose"

The other one is one of those "memento mori" phrases. Typical for tombstones along with a "tempus fugit" or winged hourglass. It's supposed to mean:
"They all wound, and the last kills"

If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
