Hi guys -
Looking for a suitable motto in latin for family crest as it currently has't one.
I like:
'Carpe Deum' - I think is 'Seize the day' or litteral 'Take of the Gods'
Trust in Yourself
Faith,Hope,Respect
Treat Others as Yourself
All very wordy which may be a problem.Anyone able to translate into Latin or with any ideas more than welcome.
Cheers guys -Drew.
It's Carpe diem, not Carpe Deum. It literally means "Seize the day" (in other words, "do it now, make the best use of your time, don't waste your opportunities"). The second word doesn't mean "gods".
Carpe Diem
Thanks for that Syn - much appreciated.Obviously I got it wrong from memory,no wonder the transaltion came out odd.
Trust in Yourself
Tibi fide
Faith,Hope,Respect
Fides, spes, observantia
Treat Others as Yourself
Alios tracta sicut te ipsum
