Labor omnia vincit
〔http://royalcollege.lk/2014/12/clubs-and-societies-felicitation-ceremony-2014/〕
''Labor omnia vincit'' is a Latin phrase meaning "Work conquers all". The phrase is adapted from Virgil's ''Georgics'', Book I, line 145-6: ''...Labor omnia vicit / improbus'' ("Steady work overcame all things"). The poem was written in support of Augustus Caesar's "Back to the land" policy, aimed at encouraging more Romans to become farmers.
==Labor movement==
A frequent motto within the U.S labor movement, the phrase is a historically significant slogan. Used by the earliest U.S labor unions such as the American Federation of Labor and other precursors to the modern AFL-CIO, the motto continues to be a traditional and defining statement of purpose on contemporary labor union emblems including the International Union of Operating Engineers and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. The motto also appears on the original 1925 flag of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the labor union of African-American Pullman Company porters founded by civil rights leader A. Philip Randolph.
The motto is used by the Geelong Trades Hall Council in Australia.
