I agree with the suggestion "quaere sapientiam" = seek wisdom
"literate" is a variant spelling of "litterate" which can mean "elegantly", "literally", "cleverly" .
"humaniores" is referring to those who are "more human", "more refined"
so the phrase probably means "elegantly more refined"
However you may have misquoted "Literae Humaniores" which refers to the study of Classics (also known as the Humanities), and may be translated as "more refined scholarship."

Scitare sophiam - seek widsom
Literate is an English word; humaniores is the comparative of humanus, so it would mean more human, or more kind, educated, civilized, etc.
humanus -a -um [human]; of good qualities, [humane, kind, educated, civilized, refined]
Caicos Turkey's "quaere sapientiam" is an excellent translation
Zlevad is correct about literae humaniores - we do not normally use that term here in America, so it did not occur to me. We just call it Classics.
