You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

library and writing type people -- I'm writing a report in which I say "this program is a major tool to produce 'leaders for . . . ". The "leaders for . . ." is/was the university motto. This pedant wants me to give it a cite, since it's in quotes. I sort of feel like it's the freaking motto, it doesn't need a cite, kind of like "God Bless America", but I'm willing to do it, if I can do it properly. How do you cite a motto? Cite to the first use of it?

I would cite to a university page about it, or something like that. Don't most universities have a web page about their crest and motto and shit? Check University archives if it isn't at the admissions website.
Like, for UGA, I would cite this [link]

Yes, we do, but it just seems silly to me to cite the university's motto in a memo to the Provost. Outside of the university, sure, but not an internal document. Whatever, I will put in a cite, which will probably be edited out when it gets incorporated into a larger document.

Oh, silly I definitely grant you! But if they want it, whatever, is my motto.

I will use this post as a cite of your motto if I need to in the future.

If it's an internal document, I wouldn't do anything but put quotations around it. One presumes the provost is familiar with the motto. Externally, I'd write something like, "This program is a major tool to produce leaders... , the goal stated in the University's motto."

“Not dead yet!”
For those of you following along, Nate gave the object of his affections the zombie bunny. She was apparently quite thrilled. I haven't gotten anything more than that and I suppose I shall have to be content.
And so, it begins.

I'm with Ginger, but the document has to go up two more levels, so I'm not going to fight it.
