"Vivite et Amate Semper Suspicientos"
Anyone care to hazard a guess? (without Googling it first!)
Is it "live and love, but always with caution" (or suspicion)?

Yeah, that's pretty much it. We've interpreted it a bit more like "Live and Love, but allways keep a sharp eye" though.

Ancient Russian proverb: "Verit' a proverit' " (and there the ' stands for the soft sign or "myagki znak" which we called, at DLI, the monkey smack)
Verit' a proverit'?
President Reagan used it a few times, it doesn't sound as good in English as it does in Russian: "Trust, but verify."
