I don't know if D has a motto. If it does, it aint' that great, cause I can't remember what it is.

Same as above, for every programming language I know of (except I think C++ has something.. about.. something .. I can't really remember).

Anyways...after reading Dennis Ritchies' account in relation to the creation of C, he mentions they just wanted to "create interesting software more easily".

I propose this as D's motto: 'Create interesting software more easily'.

Such a motto seems to fit very well with everything I know about D.

It's also a statement about D, now, and in the future (e.g. for those who don't seem to know what D's vision is ...)

It's also a statement that provides guidance, to would-be contributors.

And of course, such a motto serves as a great marketing tool.

I like it. Hard to let go of my 2 current favorites: "Do it in D" or "Just D it", but I think this is just a better motto ^^

I could see this be the official new motto for D as well. It was "Fast code, fast" before but they wanted to change it so I would be for this one.
