She Flies With Her Own Wings

She flies with her own wings.

Alis Propriis Volat

The actual phrase is gender neutral but is often translated as ‘she’ because the motto was originally used to describe nations (and countries are usually described as feminine).

Watch out for the double ‘i’ in Propriis; it is commonly misspelled in tattoos and logos…

“Come to the edge.”
“We can’t. We’re afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can’t. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire,   1880-1918
French Poet, Philosopher

Delicious Autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive Autumns. ~~ George Eliot
