How do you get "I and you talk about themselves" to mean "I talk about me and you talk about you"?

Funny that English took so much from Latin (you don't even have your own word for plant, fruit or vegetable) and missed the chance to adopt "se" and "suus" (impersonal reverse possessive pronoun). Too bad, the language would have made suus life much easier.

Really, what's the English translation of "omnia sua secum porto"? I had that on a label on a box of floppies I always carried with se.
