If you could create a motto for yourself (like people did in Tudor-era England), what would it be? I cannot think of one for myself, but I would love to hear what other people say about this! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"That which does not kill me, makes me stronger" would be mine I guess... (if I get what you ask ericalauren)
Something I try to apply every time I feel low so I can raise my head and go on... ;)

Wow this is hard I'm trying to think of one!. First time I saw Anne Boleyn's motto "The Moost Happi" I thought is that all she came up with?!. But now I understand how some of the Queen's chose simple motto's. Do you find this valuable?

"Knowledge is Power" I learned that over my lifetime!
