Latin as an economical language: my favourite Latin expression is Malo malo malo malo. Latin students will be familiar with its meaning. Another favourite of mine is this palindrome and magic square: S A T O R A R E P O T E N E T O P E R A R O T A S (Sator arepo tenet opera rotas). The translation is a bit dull, but whoever thought of it was clever. For translations of these, and a few others, try this link. Latin Tongue Twisters
