      Velis et Remis: Words to Live By


      http://kleinrestoration.com/images/blog/rowboat.jpg


      Translated "With Sails and Oars". It describes going "all out" or "pulling out all the stops" to accomplish a feat. The imagery is vivid: Sails up, oars in, doing all you can to steady the course. Velis et Remis, these are words to live by.
