YAY! I'm part of the trend! Basically, you rate the motto of the nation above you. 'Nuff said. Self explanatory. It begins.....NOW!

Nice idea, Orlkjestad. :D

Hmm, Guanzhong's is kind of cool, but it sounds more like a clue in a crossword puzzle than a nation's motto. I keep scanning it to see if it forms a meaningful acronym or something. Then again, it does have a kind of quirky appeal to it. I'll say 6/10.

Mine is “Man's standard of value is the pleasure of Man.”

Edit: haha oh man, too slow again. XD

Orlkjestad's has a really nice ring to it. Sounds like it has some kind of cool backstory to it, as well. Nine or ten, I think (is it only me who's always loth to award full marks on this kind of thing?)

6.5/10 - Definitely original, though it is a bit vague.




The stakes are immense, the task colossal, the time is short. But we may hope — we must hope — that man’s own creation, man’s own genius, will not destroy him. Scholars, indeed all men, must move forward in the faith of that philosopher who held that there is no problem the human reason can propound which the human reason cannot reason out.

~ Albert Einstein
There is so much silence between the words,
you say. You say, The sensed absence
of God and the sensed presence
amount to much the same thing,
only in reverse.
