I loved the Hermit as well!
He said Alea Iacta est, which is Latin for 'De teerling is geworpen'
he also said De Gustibus et coloribus (and non disputandum should be added here as well actually) which means 'over smaken en kleuren valt niet te twisten' or the English 'there is no accounting for tastes'
And the other one, Fluctuat Nec Mergitur, meaning 'geschud door de golven, maar zij zal niet zinken'.
And of course, cogito ergo sum, 'I think so I'm alive', 'ik denk dus ik leef'.
The hermit thinks that these are, like, spells or something

Amazing!
