school mottos

  My Mum reckons she's got a claim to having (had) the worst ever school motto: 'Serve and Obey'

    Pretty dreadful, though I'm also not too keen on St Kevins' 'Omnia pro deo (All for God)'
     
     And, of course, if you're feeling stressed and burnt-out, MHS's is none too welcoming either ;)

ours was "work hard that you may rest content" or something... not too bad! Though one of the house mottos (I think it was my house?) was "without god, all is in vain" >_>

Virtus in astra tendit

Reach for the stars, I think :/ haha.
The latin wording is burnt into my head, from staring at it imprinted on the backs of chairs throughout school assemblies.

Potens Sui.

"Mastery of Self". Which is pretty much the same as self control, when you think about it...
