3 +4 | Virtue is everywhere |

Virtue is everywhere Explanation: Dear Sean, Virtus means several things: virtue, courage, power (and many more). Ubique means everywhere. And sedem, well this word makes the sentence quite difficult. Sedem is the accusative form of sedes (residence, here), so a verb is "missing" from the phrase. Thus the "whole" sentence would be: Virtus ubique sedem [transitive verb]. I think the missing word is habet (has): thus the motto would mean virtue (courage) is everywhere or virtue makes herself at home everywhere. But to really understand the motto, we should know the story of the man, who chose it. Regards, Péter PS: of course, no word is missing from the phrase, and there is no "whole sentence". We should respect the men of the middle ages, I just have written these words, to clear up things for you. |
