F12 release slogan

This is a free form page to work on slogan ideas. Please add ideas to the table below. As we solidify the ideas and work towards the slogan, the page which change to reflect that.

Ground rules

Please read this.
Suggestions which don't follow these guidelines are far less likely to be considered.

• The slogan should be short.
• The slogan should be an active sentence, like a command.
  • F8: Go higher.
  • F9: Make waves.
  • F10: Fire it up.
  • F11: Reign now
• The slogan should be positive, and reflect the idea that Fedora helps the user achieve something great.
• The slogan should reflect one or more of the themes from the #Artwork created by the Artwork team for this release. It's more important to fit the artwork theme than the four foundations shown in the #Keywords section below.

New slogan ideas

Slogan	Submitter	Notes
"share and rule"	Fine	'divide and rule' with the idiology of sharing which characerize free and open source software!
"order the chaos"	duffy	constantine brought order to chaos; the mosaic patterns are orderly; computers are generally chaotic and Fedora can help you make sense of it
"Shine"	lcafiero	F11's slogan was "reign," so what's more fitting after a reign than to shine?
"The Verdict is out!"	gsreekantan	12 members in a jury, so ....
"Welcome to life"	tatica	When is a new opportunity, is always a new start
"Always persevering"	tatica	Is one of the meanings of "constantine" (the constant)
"Whoa."	mdehaan	Mandatory Keanu Reeves reference. (skipping the unneccessary and limiting "must be a command" rule, though technically it is a command if you are a horse, but not in the Keanu sense)
"Grok."	Mel Chua	Mandatory Heinlein reference (along the "bring order (understanding) to chaos" theme, though this is probably not enough of a mainstream reference to really work).
"Synthesize."	Mel Chua	Also attempting to go with the "understanding chaos" theme.
something-related-to-stepping-stones - what do you call the thing (not stepping) that you do on stepping stones?	Mel Chua	The rawhide wallpaper reminds me of stepping stones set through a river - a stable route where you can stand to walk to your destination in the midst of a turbulent stream, without losing any of the surprise and beauty of that stream. I'm quite taken by Mo's "bringing order to chaos" imagery and am trying to find alternative ways to phrase that.
"Unite."	Bill McGonigle	This works on a few levels. Most importantly, Fedora unites the great work of thousands into one fantastic whole. Historically, Constantine was the first Emperor of Rome to practice religious tolerance, allowing one Republic with many cultures (incidentally, he favored mono- rather than poly-theism, another level), and is said to have united the Roman Empire. Constantinople has been at the cross-roads of cultures throughout its history, an important center of trade and power. Thematically, the default artwork can be though to represent all the parts of Fedora, coming together in an organized fashion to make something greater. Foundationally: Features, all the many parts of Fedora unite to form a whole; Friends, everybody uniting to make something great; Freedom, people always unite to fight for their freedoms. This could also be written "From Many, One", and bring in some Virgil as a bonus, but that wouldn't fit the active stance rule.
