As you may have seen in the citizens area, I have suggested a number of latin phrases for our motto, which we are in need of;

"ab uno disce omnes" - "From one, learn all"

"absens haeres non erit" - "An absent person will not be an heir"

"ad astra per aspera" - " To the stars, through difficulties"

"ad honorem" - "To the honour" - (primarily for the honour, not seeking any material reward)

"ad maiorem Dei gloriam " - "To the greater glory of God"

"ave Jamzinia nostra vera Patria" - "Hail, Jamzinia, our true fatherland!"

I'd like opinions on all of the above please and also which you would prefer to be used as the primary one.

Days Till Founders Day -

I found it in a list of latin phrases.
