This phrase means that people cannot harm or wrong you without consequences or retaliation. It implies that if someone tries to attack you, they will face repercussions or justice for their actions.
no one attacks me with impunity
Impunity refers to being exempt from punishment or consequences for one's actions, often due to power or privilege. It is the freedom from facing the usual negative outcomes or repercussions for wrongdoing.
"No one provokes me with impunity." http://24carat.co.uk/nemomeimpunelacessitframe.html "No one attacks me with impunity." -motto of Scotland and of the Order of the Thistle http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/nemo%20me%20impune%20lacessit (This page also provides an audio recording of the phrase.) NOTE: "impunity" means "without punishment" or "exemption from punishment, penalty, or harm".
It either means "children", "ferret", or I'm geussing it means this... "No one attacks me with impunity"
One who attacks.
Not only because he's insane, but also because of his family name and motto "Nemo me impune lacessit" the latin meaning for "no one attacks me with impunity". He feels he deserves to punish Forunato because of the "thousand injuries" Fortunato caused him (insulting his pride).
impunity = safety from harm, freedom from punishment eg In London, because of the absence of decent police and severe punishment, gangs of black teenagers carry weapons with impunity. Nemo me impune lacessit (Scottish motto) = No-one hurts me with impunity (hurt me at your peril)
One who occupies himself with literature; a literary man; a literatus.
If somebody attacks you there will be some reaction or result to his attack. Maybe you will attack him back or maybe other people will now be more cautious of him. Some people may feel themselves immune to retaliation and maybe they are largely so, but never completely so. There will always be some negative reaction to aggression. I answered this 11202008

Montresor's coat of arms features a human foot crushing a serpent, which symbolizes his family's motto: "Nemo me impune lacessit," meaning "No one attacks me with impunity." The serpent represents his enemies, while the foot signifies Montresor's power and revenge. This imagery reflects the themes of vengeance and pride in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado."
