English: Power grows when you carry a load.

Made with cheezburger; animation created with GIMP (just click "open as layers," select both image files, then do safe-as-gif, with animation at 5000 milliseconds).

I started with the traditional Latin motto, and then I translated into English. The Latin word "virtus" is notoriously difficult to translate, but "power" seemed like the best option for this context. You can read more about the Latin word here: virtus.

Crescit sub pondere virtus.

Power grows when you carry a load.

Latin-Spanish-English: If you can dream it, you can do it.

This was so much fun! Susan Strickland created a beautiful Latin LOLCat, which she shared at Cheezburger. When a cat is shared that way at Cheezburger, other people can "recaption" the image. I provided the English, and a friend at Google+ supplied the Spanish, so now we have this cat in three languages, and it is our first Spanish cat at the blog! (Gracias, Sordatos!) The animation is done with GIMP (just click "open as layers," select both image files, then do safe-as-gif, with animation at 5000 milliseconds).
