'IN SILENCIO ET SPE ERIT FORTITVDO VESTRA'
Luther's motto goes back to Isaiah 30,15 and can be translated as 'in quietness and in trust shall be your strength'. Luther himself translated in 1528 as follows: "Durch stille sein und hoffen würdet ir starck sein." (D. Martin Luthers Werke, Weimar edition, Bibel, vol. 11.I, 96)
