Vita sine litteris mors

'Vita sine litteris mors' is the old Derby School motto meaning
'Life without learning is death'; it is from letter number 82 in Seneca
the Younger's Epistulae morales ad Lucilium. Seneca the Younger, who
lived circa 4 BC-AD 65, was a Roman statesman and philosopher.

The quotation in full is 'Vita sine litteris mors est, et hominis vivi sepultura.'
It means 'Life without learning is death, and the funeral of a living man.'
