Ora et labora from my school. I had to look it up, even though I'd seen it so many hundreds of times. A surprisingly monkish motto given that the school was founded in 1576.

Heh, a friend of mine taught there, but probably after you time.

the godawful school I went to for undergrad better not be my only alma mater

Alcibiades

Wait...  What would you know about masculinity, you fucking faggot?  - Overly Autistic Neil


OTOH, if you think that a Jew actually IS poisoning the wells you should call the cops. IMHO.   - The Brain

It was something really inspiring, though I could never remember what it was.

Seems wrong to steal the University of Phoenix's motto like that.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I wouldn't goof on them too much.  They have a 63,000 seat multipurpose stadium that grows its grass outside and rolls it back in.  Not bad for a school with no sports program.

History, actually; the motto's that of the whole College, not just one particular School.

Although to be honest I had to look this up when the thread started; I remember the motto of the school I attended between the ages of 11 and 18 more - "Salus in Arduis".
"Come grow old with me
The Best is yet to be
The last of life for which the first was made."

I can't find anything on the official webpage, but secondary sources suggest that U of Manitoba's motto is Floreat, or Flourish.

First time around I didn't think to look um my high school's motto.

It is apparently Sicut Miles Christi, or Soldiers of Christ.

Jesuit school, dontcha know.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I wasn't suggesting it was, just guessing you might have done war studies there.  :)
