having trouble finding the GM motto in latin on the internet... can someone help me out with the correct spelling??

Thanks.


GM3

what is the translation?

"I bring not the rays of the sun, but the thunderbolts of Jupiter"

Isn't it "E Shooto Gunno"?



I never new there was any kind of a motto for GM's. Must have come out after I was gone.

quote:

Isn't it "E Shooto Gunno"?

ROFL

How about "NARRO ABYSSUS UT MEUS PARUM AMICUS"

GUNS

NONSOLIS RADIOUS SEDIOUUIS FULMINA MTO

Does that translate to "No reason needed to light you up"?

SaltyGM-

What is that image/crest/whatever from?

I've seen that crest on the Yorktown website.

I tried to translate that Latrin (4 years of Latin in HS) and I can't figure out what it say's. So can someone translate it for me?

go up a few threads... it says:

"We bring not the rays of the sun, but the thunderbolts of Jupiter."

NONSOLIS RADIOS SEDIOUIS FULMINA MITTO
Translation: "I bring not the warmth of the sun, but the rage of the storm"

The correct translation is "I send not the rays of the sun but the thunderbolts of jupiter" It came from a mortar in the yorktown battlefield. The cannon was made in 1681 and the phrase is cast into the top of it. The translation is on abronze plaque just in front of the mortar. I have picture if anyone is interested. I can be reached at uscggm@charter.net.

Sorry guys, but the latin for 'thunderbolts' or 'lightning' is LEVITAS, and 'jupiter' is, well JUPITER.

I asked the local Arch Diociese and got the translation I posted earlier.

my nephew is a Canon Lawyer so since he speaks Latin I asked him and he said it means this:

 NONSOLIS RADIOS SEDIOUIS FULMINA MITTO

'I come not with the sun's rays but with thunder."

sounds like a good translation to me.

I believe all of these translations to be true, however this quote is old and there was probably a little "slang" or "implied" meaning to go along with it. Either way I think we all get the gist of what it means!
