The Latin version of this phrase was popularized by the Harry Potter series of novels, where it serves as the motto of the Hogwarts school: Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus, (literally, "A sleeping dragon [is] never to be tickled".) This appears to be the wizardly equivalent of the English adage "Let sleeping dogs lie": i.e., don't stir up trouble where none currently exists.
