I'll try my mother tongues: German, Spanish and English:
(sorry for the latter two - but optimizations are my 0.2c)
Als Mensch kann mir nichts menschliches Fremd sein.
(Human in German has a different connotation)
Hombre soy, nada humano me puede ser ajeno.
(gets pretty close to the latin, except the endings and the order)
As a man, nothing human can be alien to me.
(note the puto translates into 'can')
I guess the Italian would get a bit nearer (or how about Esperanto).

I like Will Stranathan's version - it's simply the best in this thread!

Please don't try now a BAT version - it will never work!
(because there'll always be surprises!)
