I’m qu...My old-school-motto was labor omnia vincit. I’m quite sure it still is – although I’ve left it behind close to three decades. I’ve often wondered why it wasn’t omnia vincit amor, for, between love and labour, I’m pretty sure love is of the higher order. That which labour couldn’t conquer, I’ve come to believe love probably would. Which is why I continue to wonder – without an answer – if only the Institution’s motto had been different, whether I would still have lost my first associate, Elysium at Light Street, just an ironical stone’s throw from Love Lane.Singa Pura Purahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026698118954285616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1134558155331468992005-12-14T19:02:00.000+08:002005-12-14T19:02:00.000+08:00No, you aren't wrong as Latin is an inflected lang...No, you aren't wrong as Latin is an <B>inflected</B> language where it doesn't necessarily follow the English structure of <I>subject-verb-object</I>, which you have attempted to present. The ending of the word tells the reader what it is - subject or object.<BR/><BR/>In fact, the more usual case would be Amor Omnia Vincit, where the verb is at the end, after the <I>subject-object</I> but my Latin isn't that good as to explain why the classical presentation for this phrase is Omnia Vincit Amor. It may have to do with emphasis or rhythm.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-1134528331653731702005-12-14T10:45:00.000+08:002005-12-14T10:45:00.000+08:00Great story.

However, I used to write is as amour vincit omnia which is a direct traslation from english to Latin and maybe wrong.Dilip Mutumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232022705021452002noreply@blogger.com
