State mottoes may be said to reflect the character and beliefs of the citizens of the state, or more accurately, the citizens of the state when they were adopted.
Considering the hard lives of early Kansas pioneers and the tough battles that Kansas had gone through and won to become the 34th state, John James Ingalls thought it fitting that Ad Astra per Aspera be displayed on the seal and adopted as the state motto.

For much of the last century, publishing has operated under a model unique among retail businesses — one which is particularly unkind to the small and the independent.
‘Per Aspera’ — ‘through difficulties’ — speaks to our commitment as publishers and authors to succeed despite these obstacles.
Things have been quiet around here for the last couple of months, as frankly the principals of Per Aspera have needed to focus more energy on the immediate acquisition of funds (aka ‘day jobs’).

My feeling near the end of the meeting between Garrick and the Family and the Forest Service in front of Garrick's tipi was such that I thought, if this were a movie, in the background music the strings would be lush and soaring and the brasses would be coming in for a tutti crescendo.
On the 2nd., I went over to Garrick's for the Morning Show, and found him about to dictate a letter to Robbie complaining to Ryberg about the fl LEO, the one I had seen at the front gate, whose name was Oates.

 AD ASTRA PER ASPERA: Catapult Calypso - Muse
Catapult Calypso, the first full-length album from Ad Astra per Aspera, (Latin for "to the stars through difficulties") is almost as weird as the band's name.
The first track, "Voodoo Economics," starts with a groovy guitar riff that could easily have hippies and punks dancing to the same tune, but unfortunately, this only last a few seconds.
While there are brief moments of musical genius on the album, the band is too caught up in sounding different and changing tempos every few seconds to make these instances last.
