Motto	"יְהִי אוֹר" (Hebrew) "multitudo sapientium sanitas orbis" (Latin)*
Motto in English	"Let there be light" "A multitude of the wise is the health of the world"

* From the Vulgate, Wisdom of Solomon 6:24. Motto of the University of Victoria.

“But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.” 

King James Version (KJV)

Wisdom of Solomon 6:24 Context

21If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. 22As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth. 23Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. 24But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people. 25Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.

【思高本聖經 智慧】 6:24
²⁶智慧人眾多，世界纔有救；君王明達，民生纔安定。
