1 MOTTO AND 5 CITATIONS TO UNDERSTAND ME BETTERMotto: Solvitur in excelsis = The solution is the heights = The solution is the best of ourselves.Citation 1: "Il y a une sorte de snobisme spirituel à croire que l'argent n'est pas nécessaire au bonheur." = "There is a kind of spiritual snobbery in believing that money is not necessary for happiness" (A.
