Latin Phrase (Dum Spiro Spero)

Dum Spiro Spero- While I breathe, I hope.

I know that Latin is a dead Roman language, but it's still a form of writing and to me the meaning behind a certain Latin phrase "Dum Spiro Spero" really jumps out at me. Dum Spiro Spero, which means "While I breathe, I hope." Or another interpretation is "As long as I breathe, I hope." I choose this phrase, because of the stories it holds and why this phrase is significant to a demographic. This phrase hold significance to a certain demographics which are the people in the south, more specifically African American in the south. The phrase Dum Spiro Spero is a state motto for South Carolina, adopted in 1776, the motto is form as part of official great seal.
I just find that Dum Spiro Spero holds so much meaning to me, because I tend to depend on Hope to get me through life. This phrase reminds me how writing in any language can exert some kind of creativity and motivation/inspiration. If you speak a different language, just think of writings or phrases that are creative and motivates you to do something about your life or how it effects your life. That's what makes creative writing so important, because its influential, motivational, and inspirational.
