Ever to Excel
(詳細はEnglish translation of the Ancient Greek phrase 'αἰὲν ἀριστεύειν'. It has been used as motto by a number of educational institutions.
==Origin and etymology==
The phrase is derived from the sixth book of Homer's ''Iliad,'' in which it is used in a speech Glaucus delivers to Diomedes. During a battle between the Greeks and Trojans, Diomedes is impressed by the bravery of a mysterious young man and demands to know his identity. Glaucus replies: "Hippolochus begat me. I claim to be his son, and he sent me to Troy with strict instructions: ''Ever to excel'', to do better than others, and to bring glory to your forebears, who indeed were very great ... This is my ancestry; this is the blood I am proud to inherit."
