It means "dare to know" in Latin. I found myself enamored with a Bruce Lee poster online, it bore the quote "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." After a little research about this profound piece of text, I found it originally belonged to Goethe, a German who created Weltliteratur, World Literature.
I am in a point at my life where I am holding myself accountable for the things that I know. Ranging from personal relationships to business and education, I am constantly pursuing the honesty in my knowledge, the Truth that I perceive, and am standing behind my ideals.
This is difficult.
I find it is far too easy to travel the path of least resistance, one must constantly be in tune with ones own desires, requiring a great deal of focus and discipline. The titanic social paradigms that surround our world grind like gears, smashing our individuality into dust, demanding our conformity. Yet how else would the world work? In order to have Order individuality must be kept confined. And I wonder if even those we consider "radical," (artists, politicians, theorists, etc.) who are breaking boundaries in their fields aren't already working within a huge construct that only allows them to be as such?
