Dear Latin people - I am an artist putting together a coat of arms for a family and they want a motto in latin to read " most people seem normal until you really get to know them." can you help me?

you should place latin in the title to attract the right people's attention

Good point Anthos. Chris posted his message as a guest ,so he can't edit it. I've just done it.

I enjoy heraldry...

Once again, may I ask the other members for translating the requested sentence into french ? Does it mean, like I think : "la plupart des gens paraissent normaux jusqu'à ce que vous les connaissiez réellement" ?

Please wait... I'll answer.

I propose :

Normales videntur plerique homines, donec eos experiris.
