Opera Nostrarum Manuum Dirige

Opera nostrarum manuum dirige translates as: "Direct the work of our hands." It is the motto of The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, although it would be just as suitable for a group of joiners or other tradesmen. Dirige is an imperative, which is also to be found in the motto of the City of London: Domine dirige nos.

Opus, operis (f) work

Manus, manus (f) hand
