My personal favorite:
Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati - When all else fails, play dead
From the Red Green show.
Red Green. I love that show.
In a more serious vein:
How about la vertu est sa propre récompense, or Tugend ist seine eigene Belohnung? Virtue is its own reward.
In a less serious vein:
This has always been one of my favorites, although way too long for a motto. You work out the meaning.
O sibile! Si ergo. Fortibus es in ero. O nojo! Demis trux. Si cousen em, pixen dux.
I really like both Jochen and Patrick’s more serious mottos (I hyate to call it serious though, it’s always fun). I am tempted to use Joe’s "Dark Side" one too, being the huge Star Wars fan I am.
In semi-seriousness:
I like both of Jochen and Patrick’s suggestions.
I was thinking:
Good fortune grows from virtue
fortune reflects character
One’s virtue seals one’s fate.
Any comments on these?

It’s true. Latinizing things make them seem way more profound:
Pars cantandi, pars saltandi, et in bracum bellorum.
Which very loosely translates (or so I have been informed): A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.
I think it’s "Pars cantandi pars saltandi Et in bracas pars bullandi"
literally: "Part of singing part of dancing and on the breeches part of bubbling"
So "seltzer" seems OK, however, might be beer or champagne instead…..

Thanks, Jochen!
Looking for a little help with a motto, and instead of cluttering up with a new topic I thought I’d just jump in here…
Here’s what I’m considering…
"In Harmony"
1. What would that be in Latin?
2. Would that carry the same double meaning (music and peace), or would it fall flat?
I found the following two Latin translations…
Concordia
Harmony
Concordia cum veritate
In harmony with truth
So would the correct way to say "In Harmony: be
Concordia ,
or something like…
In Concordia ?
Any help would be appreciated.
