Deo iuvante, by Lady Jane Grey

 Deo iuvante, nil nocet liver malus;

Et non iuvante, nil iuvat labor gravis;

Post tenebras spiro lucem.

Lady Jane Grey 1537-1554

(Nine days queen of England: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Jane_Grey)


My version of this is:

If God should help, no harm shall bruise;

Without Him, we will only lose:

After the dark, I hope for light.
