That reminded me of something a character in the Discworld novels said - I've tried to translate it, but I don' think I really succeeded.

Here's my attempt:

*pab chut* bIHmeH Dachovchu' DabIvpa'.

The (paraphrased) quote from Prattchet: "Rules are there so you think before you break them."

That analyses out as:-

pab may mean:-
- V:follow_rules
- N:grammar
 
chut may mean:-
- N:law
 
bIHmeH may mean:-
- P:they_nonsentient VS9:for_purpose
 
Dachovchu' may mean:-
- PP:you_sg/[he|it|them] V:[assess|evaluate]* VS6:[clearly|perfectly]
 
DabIvpa' may mean:-
- PP:you_sg/[he|it|them] V:break_rules VS9:before

"For the purpose of [letting] grammar rules exist, you perfectly assess them before you break them."

"In order for grammar rules to exist, you perfectly assess them before you break them."

I am tempted to try:-

pab chut Dachovchu'meH DabIvpa', pab chut bIHtaH.
