Rise above.
I like that motto. I might steal it when you’re not looking, but that would be hypocritical to the message. I really relate to it though.

…think of it this way: the Dutch stole it from the Latins, I stole it from the Dutch & your use of it will keep it alive too!
Thank you for the compliment!
