My father, who is from Greece, said that the motto actually means "we pursue the good things."
It definitely was gussied up to our current translation.
BTW, my father used to tease my chapter sisters about their pronunciation. The Southerners had that twang, "Taw kawlah deh-oh-koh-men" which bothered the heck out of him. But hey, he had an accent too!
