A direct translation of the phrase "grab them by the balls and their hearts and minds
will follow" into Latin would be "animum per globos iaculis sequetur," but this might not carry across the intended meaning.
As 'grab' and 'balls' are more modern and informal words that may not have been used in Roman times, we might instead say
"hold them by the testicles and their hearts and
minds will follow", or in Latin, "testes et eisdem sequetur animum." In this context, 'et eisdem' means 'and the same', 'sequetur' is 'follows', 'animum' means mind, and you can probably guess what 'testes' means!
