Here's some examples.

Aliquando insanine iucundum est.
Sometimes it's fun to be a madman.

Pacta sunt servanda.
Deals are made to be kept.

Magistri te everberant.
Teachers beat you.

Quid rides? Mutato nomini, de te fabulo narratur.

These may not all be accurate translations, but at least the meaning is clear.

I'm afraid your translation of this is not correct. The correct meaning of it is:
Why do you laugh? Change the names and about your story is to be told.
