This was way at the bottom of my last post, so some may not have seen it. All help appreciated.

I can read Latin, more or less, as long as I don't have to get the tenses right, but I can't generate grammatically correct Latin. And there's two things I really want to make needlework samplers out of.
(1) Rust never sleeps.
(2) I know it's in here *somewhere*. (As in, someone asks whether we own such-and-such a book or object; our reply is that we do own it, but haven't the foggiest idea of where in the house or garage, packed or unpacked, it might be. This is pretty much our family motto, and has been, since the day we got married. So, I want Latin for something equivalent to "I know it's in here somewhere" although to sound euphonious, you might have to be a little elastic with the exact wording - I know that these objects are located within somewhere? Anyway. Something like that.)

One of my friends from college went on to become a Classics professor, but I haven't talked to him in almost 20 years (bad miz_geek!). If I could find him on facebook, I'd ask him for you, but he doesn't seem to be there.

The first one is "numquam ferrugo dormit." The second one is a little more complex; don't know if I can come up with anything for you.

Thanks, Sam! I had a feeling you'd know this...
