ANST - Motto for Timo

[Gunnora Hallakarva]

Timo asked:
>OK, Mistress Gunnora, while youre at it, heres my motto....
>Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

There are a couple of words meaning "overcome" suggested below, select the
one which has the best nuance for your meaning.  I suggest:

Compone! Accomoda! Supera!

This phrasing gives the imperative or command forms of the verbs.  

However, most of the Latin mottos I've seen tend to use the infinitive
forms - rather than "Improvise!  Adapt! Overcome!" as a command it would be
"To Improvise, To Adapt, To Overcome" -- this second form of the phrase
would be:

Componere, Accomodare, Superare.

GLOSSARY
