Well, for those who like to do things online perhaps these
files and referances might be useful if you want to learn
or brush up on your Latin:
Latin-msg         (45K)  3/18/99    Learning Latin. Some basics. WWW course.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/EDUCATION/Latin-msg.html
Latin-online-art  (15K)  6/10/99    "Learning Latin On-Line" by Gunnora
                                       Hallakarva.

Also Mistress Gunnora has done many motto translations
that are in the Florilegium. The reason I bring these up is
that not only does she give the translation for the requested
mottoes but she often explains why the phrase is translated
the way it is or explains various other points about Latin.
mottoes1-msg     (113K) 10/25/00    Latin mottoes for SCA use.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/HERALDRY/mottoes1-msg.html
mottoes2-msg      (80K) 10/25/00    More Latin mottoes and phrases.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/HERALDRY/mottoes2-msg.html

If you are looking for a motto to use, these files might be
a good source for mottoes or perhaps as inspiration for
creating your own motto.
