I have seen a school motto, AIM HIGH, vandalised as I'M HIGH.

It's been a while since college Latin class, but isn't the Kyiv National Aviation University three infinitives? "To live! To conquer! To create!" Maybe it sounds better in Ukrainian?

I never took Latin, but I suspect you're right and Wikipedia (for shame!) is wrong.

“Motto” is one of my least favorite Wordle words.

Hah! The good news is you'll never have to encounter it again.

So informative and wickedly wise, as you are- giving us the skinny on what educational philosophies tout and share- but that UCLA website gives us the best glimpse.

"Non satis scire," my alma mater's motto has been vindicated. Hampshire College will close after the fall's semester ends. To know is - and soon was - not enough.

Ouch. My condolences.

FYI the fictional detective agency run by 1950s French noirist Leo Malet's hardboiled 'détective de choc' Nestor Burma is called the Agence Fiat Lux. The stories have been televised and even better made into bandes dessinées (strip cartoons) by the great Jacques Tardi. Worth a look just for his graphics.
