Why it matters

The idea in context

The Latin motto is often translated “through hardships to the stars.” Its power comes from compression: ascent is possible, but not smooth; the height is reached by passing through the rough ground first.

Türkçe

Zorluklardan yıldızlara.
Latince atasözü

Latince motto çoğu zaman “zorluklardan yıldızlara” diye çevrilir. Gücü yoğunluğundadır: yükselmek mümkündür, ama pürüzsüz değildir; yüksekliğe önce engebeli zeminden geçerek varılır.
