Hello lizizkool7-ga, 'Age quod agas' is a variant of the old motto 'age quod agis' From Wikipedias List of Latin proverbs: Age quod agis - "Do what you do", in the sense of "Do well what you do" or "Be serious in what you do" http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_proverbs The Westbourne Grammar School motto is: "Age quod Agas" - That which you do, do well. http://www.westbournegrammar.com/php/secondary.php From the Latin Motto Page: Age quod agis! Do what you are doing! http://www.rain.org/~rcurtis/latinm.html *Age* is the imperative "Do!" and *quod agis* is a common latin expression (as used in everyday speech ) meaning "what you do". So a literal, or direct, translation would be "Do what you do". http://groups.google.com/groups?q=latin++Age+Quod+Agis&hl=es&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=N.051198.110015.83%40196-31-64-7.iafrica.com&rnum=3 Search Criteria: "Age quod agas" Age quod agis Age quod agas latin I hope this helps.
