Quotations from the Latin frequently appear as mottoes, maxims, and phrases of various sorts. Nearly every state has a Latin motto. Thus, the motto on the seal of Connecticut, beneath three vines, is Qui trānstulit sustinet, He who transplanted, sustains. Universities usually have Latin mottoes: thus that of Harvard is Vēritās, Truth; and that of Syracuse is Scientia suōs cultōrēs coronat, Wisdom crowns those who seek her. Often graduating classes choose a Latin motto, as Labor omnia vincit, Work overcomes every obstacle. Many families have Latin mottoes inherited from the days of heraldry when Latin was the international language. The motto of George Washington's family was Exitus acta probat, Action is tested by results. Again, many hymns have Latin names, as Tē Deum Laudāmus and Stabat Mater; in fact many hymns are still sung entirely in Latin. The Lord's Prayer is often called the Pater Noster, these being the words with which it begins in Latin. In English literature we meet Latin quotations, as in Scott's "Ivanhoe" and often in Thackeray. As a title for one of his essays Stevenson selected a quotation from Horace, Virginibus Puerisque, For Lads and Lasses. Translate the following mottoes: 1.
