What is the Olympic Motto?

Yup, it's time for more Latin with Sarakastic. I'd never thought that I'd say that. The Olympic motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius. This is Latin for Faster, Higher, Stronger. Yes, it reminds me of that daft punk song too. The motto was proposed in 1894, long before the daft punk song or Vegas vacations. Yes, it's sad that I think of youtube music videos when I hear Latin. Another informal motto of the Olympics is "The most important thing is not to win but to take part"
