Astor Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Most families have a motto, a saying, or something that is often tied to their history, or create one that sums up their family. So, my question is, what's yours? My own family's motto, originated from Clan Macbean: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Loosely translated it means "Don't touch this cat without a shield", meaning "Don't mess with us unless you're prepared". So what's yours? It doesn't have to be historical, it could just be something that sums up your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos9t Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 My family motto, originates from the Wedge family of Somerset where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor. Which is: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Nil conscire sibi = "Conscious of No Wrong" or "To have a conscience free from guilt depending" on how it is translated.

SW01 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have seen a few different versions of my family's motto, but this one seems to be the oldest (and most common in searches): 'Leo de Juda est robur nostrum' - 'The Lion of Judah is our strength' Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Somehow I get the idea that Revan wasn't originally involved in this thread....suspect foul play I do.... Anyway, my family motto is quite simple, or at least my motto, "Never, never, never, give up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 God, well, the part of my family that came from Belgium had a escutcheon of sorts in french and latin. I'll look around for it. At any rate, my dad usually says something like "Do it well once, so you won't have to do it again". Somehow I get the idea that Revan wasn't originally involved in this thread....suspect foul play I do.... Pro-tip: Look at the calendar... Obvsiously, that virus corrupted the forum database.
