The Yiling Wei sect: their colours are red and black, their sect symbol is a blood red drop: for the guidao cultivation of their patriarch, for the medical cultivation they practise, for the tears and pain it took to be free. Both a petal from the lotus of the Jiang and a ray from the Wen sun, the blood drop symbolises the identity they forged together in the Burial Mounds.

Thinking about how secondary schools usually have three-word Latin mottos on the emblem to show which virtues are most exercised ("Modeste, Strenue, Sancte", "Stet Fortuna Domus"..) so having the original Bully game named Canis Canem Edit was a jab at this system while hinting at what Bullworth's climate is like.

So I'm a Science Spider, not a Language Spider. Trying to make a motto for emails and such that means: "Knowledge is power, and with great power, there must also come great responsibility." Google says: "Scientia potentia est et cum potentia magna venit magnus responsabilitate", should work. But I don't know enough Latin syntax to confirm and my searches about it are confusing. Are there any Latin enthusiasts on here?

“Amore et Timore” - King Fernando I “El Animoso”

[princessofmistake]

Per aspera ad astra» «Attraverso le asperità [si giunge] sino alle stelle»

Si tratta di un famoso motto del mondo latino, più precisamente di un’esortazione a superare le difficoltà, a fare del proprio meglio e a impegnarsi per raggiungere i propri obiettivi. Si pensa che affondi le proprie origini nella lingua greca e che le sue radici rinvengano nella mitologia greca, secondo la quale solamente gli eroi, una volta morti, avrebbero avuto l’onore di raggiungere l’Olimpo.

Questo cammino “verso le stelle” era, quindi, riservato a chi aveva vissuto una vita impavida, ricca di asperità e pericoli, certamente essenziale per raggiungere la virtù e la gloria.

Il motto, sebbene sembri di recente formulazione, riecheggia in realtà frasi della tradizione letteraria. Pensiamo a Virgilio che nella sua Eneide (IX, 641) scrive “Sic itur ad astra”, con traduzione “Cosi si sale alle stelle” e ancora a Seneca che in Hercules furens (437) scrive “Non est ad astra mollis e terra via”, letteralmente “Non esiste alcuna via semplice dalla terra alle stelle”.

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum: Unveiling the Wisdom of 'If You Want Peace, Prepare for War 🕊️⚔️

The Essence of Strategic Readiness

Translated as "If you want peace, prepare for war," this quote encapsulates the strategic notion that being well-prepared and strong serves as a deterrent, reducing the likelihood of conflict.

Historical Context

Originating from Roman military philosophy, this maxim reflects the understanding that a nation's strength and readiness act as a safeguard, discouraging potential adversaries from instigating hostilities.

Diplomacy and Deterrence

The quote emphasizes the importance of diplomacy and preparedness as complementary elements in the pursuit of peace. A nation that is perceived as strong is often in a better position to negotiate and maintain stability.

A Modern Interpretation

In contemporary contexts, the maxim is invoked to highlight the importance of maintaining a robust defense and strategic capabilities to ensure national security, contributing to global peace through strength.

Striking a Balance

While the phrase underscores the necessity of military preparedness, it also urges a delicate balance between strength and diplomacy. A nation's goal should be peace, with war considered only as a last resort.

Preventing Aggression

The essence of the quote lies in deterring aggression rather than actively seeking conflict. By demonstrating preparedness, a nation can discourage potential adversaries from choosing the path of war.

Applicability Beyond Warfare

The wisdom in "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" extends to various aspects of life, emphasizing the value of preparation and resilience in facing challenges, not just in the realm of conflict.
