@Debacle,
Thanks Debacle, this is the answer that Google translate gives, but I am insecure with it. I suspect a translation close to "trepid" or "terror" would be nearer the nuance. Agitare to me is more to do with movement. But I am an amateur with these things. Could anyone shed more light on this?

@mrwid,
That's okay, mrwid, don't sweat it. How about that: Non sudor eam. ?

@George,
Oh! Fantastic. Both answers from George and Debacle are excellent. Thank you all for your help with this.
Now how do I accept two answers?

@mrwid,
Non sudor eam, mrwid. My preference is for George's. They're not so slangy.

@Debacle,
A question for you, Debacle.
Where did you get that translation?
No offense meant, but it looks like something from an online automated
translator.

@George,
It was indeed, George. I imagine it was Google Translator. At least it's one of the buttons on the Google Toolbar. It can't be very dependable, since it translates each word of a sentence as soon as it's typed.

I find it rather interesting, and often get comical results, to use an automated translator and do a switch-around, translating the results back into English. Generally bears little relation to the original English phrase.
