Ciltius, Altius, Fortius

(Olympic Motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together)

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves: in your strength you will have no end of fun and games.

 Blessed are those who can tell a mountain from a molehill: in your sense of higher things you will be saved a lot of bother.

 Blessed are those who know how to relax without looking for excuses: You are running into the depths of wisdom.

 Blessed are those who know when to be quiet and to listen: You are stretching into great learning.

 Happy are you if you can take small things seriously and face serious things calmly: you will be able to run a marathon.

 Happy are you if you can appreciate a smile and forget a frown: you will walk on the sunny side of the world and see the magnificence of all human strivings for excellence.

 Happy are you if you can be kind in understanding the attitudes of others, even when the signs are unfavourable: your insight and personal strength may bring about the greatest change and victory for all.

 Blessed are those who think before acting and pray before thinking: theirs is the victory dais.

 Happy are you if you know how to hold your tongue and smile, even when people interrupt and contradict you or tread on your toes: the gospel has begun to seep into your heart and the olive branch is your monogram.

 Above all,

Blessed are you who recognise the Lord in all whom you meet:

The light of truth shines in your life

for you have found true wisdom,

wonderful strength,

dizzying height

and graceful speed.
