A new motto he took for himself, one which was henceforth ever on his lips, and which appears again and again in his later writings: "_Jacta est alea_" ( "the die is cast"); or, in the stronger German, in which he more often gave it, "_Ich hab's gewagt_" ( "I have dared it").
The Story of the Innumerable Company, and Other Sketches David Starr Jordan 1891
