ANST - Motto for Raven

[Gunnora Hallakarva]

Raven suggested:
>Actually, I kind of liked Catwoman's statement.
>No matter where you go, there you are.

"no matter where" is an English colloquial phrase.  The Latin equivalent
would also be a colloquial phrase based on "ubi gentium".  Gentium is
literally "tribe, clan, sept, nation" but is found in this particular
phrase meaning, more or less "where in the world". 

So the phrase:

Ubicumque gentium is, ibi es.

Comes out, "Wherever in the world you go, there you are."

You could also just say, "Ubicumque is, ibi es," or "Wherever you go, there
you are."

GLOSSARY
* ubicumque (adverb) "wherever, wheresoever, anywhere, everywhere"
