Family mottos

[Barmaid]

When I am writing my family history books, as a bit of fun I google my family mottos.

What is yours? (Or if you don't want to give away your name, what would you like yours to be?)

Mine would be

Illegitimi non carborundum

(don't let the barstewards grind you down)

[Bobbisox]

where do you find it BM

Wilson?

[ummmm]

Always faithful to friends

:-)

[Barmaid]

I just google them Bobbi - there is no real "research" and it's just a bit of fun.

The House of Names says that the Wilson motto is "vincit qui se vincit"

He conquers who conquers himself.

[Bobbisox]

if theres not a link I think mine would have be the same as yousr then BM o
Treat everyone as you would like to be treat yourself

[ethandron]

with two sons, ours is 'always wear a condom'.

[Bobbisox]

Thank you BM, I like that one, so Bill is a definite
William the Conqueror eh?

Sapiens qui vigilat is my maiden name motto - he is wise who watches.

I never knew this until now, maybe explains my predilection for biding my time!

[whiskeysheri]

"Vis unita fortior” - United force is stronger. :)

The only one I could find-and it was a different spelling of my maiden name is "There is no difficulty to him who wills..."
I suppose that's like saying-'if I want something ,I'll get/do it"...oh,how I wish...lol

[boxtops]

That's OK bobbi, I was pleased to find it myself!

[jno]

we don't seem to have a motto. Can I have "Don't eat the yellow snow"?

[ttfn]

Dux femina facti

(The leader of the enterprise is a woman)

[jno]
