a good motto for such a site would be :
"in cordiae vis vitae" which means, that the power of life is in
the heart.
That is the power to go on after a traumatic experience, the power
to create, and to reject negativity, the power to have compassion
with others.
It's as John Lennon puts it "Love is the awnser" (I think that's
how it goes...)
Thank you

I believe that there is an old English family that moved to
Ireland in Cromwell's time and adopted the politically incorrect
motto "More Irish than the Pigs". I wonder if there is any reader
who can confirm this and identify the family. Any information
gratefully received.

CONSIDER THESE MOTIVATIONAL PHRASES:
"Do what you can."
"Your only human."
"Just do your best and take your time."
Hmmm... Now try explaining those to your boss, he/she will
probably say something to the effect of "So can you come in on

Trying the new translation services -
Here is how AltaVista's Babblefish
translates "As you sow, so shall you reap":
Car vous truie, ainsi vous récolterez
Pues usted puerca, así que usted cosechará
Poichè scrofa, in modo da voi raccoglierete
Da Sie Abstichgraben, also Sie ernten
Globalink's Comprende
Mail translates to french as follows:
Comme vous semez donc devez vous récoltez.

me some encouraging words or try to talk me out of it, it would be
greatly appreciated.
Now, about the motto. I think it means you get what you
give. One of my favorite sayings comes from the Bible.

I have something from "The Hymn of creation in the Rig Veda". It
is an ancient Hindu text:

there was neither existence nor non-existence,
All this world was unmanifest energy......
The one breathed, without breath by its own power
Nothing else was there......."

Never be irreplaceable. If you cannot be replaced, you cannot be promoted.

The Cyberpsych motto is extremely close to the motto of the Bliss
family, "Quod Severis Metes", which also "freely" translates as
"What you sow, also shall you reap."
The Bliss family motto is centuries old and is, to the best of my
knowledge, registered with the College of Heraldry.
The motto is also that of Dumbarton
Oaks Garden, established by the Bliss family.

Dear Carol,
I appreciated so much the effort that went into the page,
especially the section for the prevention of suicides, as I have
recently befriended several young people in the New York area that
have been given to tendencies such as this in the past!!! Your
pages and articles have been a valuable resource as I talk to
these kids, for they have no hope and nothing to live for at any
given moment!!!
As for your Latin motto, as best as I can translate (using my
portuguese language background) the actual translation would be
"As it is meted out, so it shall be (done)..." So I guess my take
on the motto would have to be the same as several others, with a
little twist for interrelational give and take: "Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you!!!"

Greetings, Carol:
Of course it goes without saying that my motto is: "Res ipsa
loquitur." A relatively common legal term meaning, "it speaks for
itself" when referring to evidence or testimony that is so obvious
it needs no further explanation. More broadly, it means straight
talk, honesty, épachement. I believe nothing
describes one's true character better than what and how we write.
Familiar, n'est ce pas?

Here are some related quotes I found while browsing
Job 4, 8: Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity and sow wickedness, reap the same
2 Corinthians, 9, 6: But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Samuel Butler. 1600-1680.:... "For as you sow, ye are like to reap."
The English translation does not appear in the King James, not does the Latin version appear in the Latin Vulgate, as one would have thought. Perhaps the English should be attributed to Butler.
