Motto of the Collège de France in Paris. Founded in 1530, located in the Latin Quarter of Paris since 1610. Some say the Collège de France may be able to add the motto: Docet omnia omnes, "All things are taught to all" if they can complete the expansion of their facilities as planned (from a March 17, 1993, article seen in The Chronicle of Higher Education).

The Collège de France was created in 1530 at the request of King Francis I of France. Of humanist inspiration, this school was established as an alternative to the Sorbonne to promote such disciplines as the Hebrew language, Ancient Greek, and Mathematics. Initially called Collège Royal, and later Collège des Trois Langues (Latin: Collegium Trilingue), Collège National, Collège Impérial, it was named Collège de France in 1870. It is located in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.

The Collège does not grant degrees, but has research laboratories, as well as one of the best research libraries in Europe, with sections focusing on history with rare books, humanities, and social sciences; as well as, chemistry and physics.
