Deleted User	Quote: AMDG was my school motto - and it was spelt majorem. 'twas a day or two since, I admit, but I'm not that ancient. That ever so dependable source Wikipedia says Quote: Ad maiorem Dei gloriam or ad majorem Dei gloriam (when an "i" functions as a consonant in Latin, it is often represented with a "j"), also known by the abbreviation AMDG AMDG To the Greater Glory of God The above was lifted from the Lectio Divina thread and I was wondering if anyone else had an old school or work motto that inspired them or filled them with dread, all those old wise sayings your grandparents taught you in connection with going to church or saying your prayers, Feel free to share them Or perhaps suggest a phrase that should be a Motto

Deleted User	Thanks for the reference Rose while browsing through it came across AD CAUTELAM, which explains much of the malaise in the church today because, and I say this knowing this site may be watched, it could be the Motto for some of my colleagues and Bishops .
