The mottoes incorporated in certain of the regimental crests are not without interest. The following, with their English equivalents, are worth noting:—
Pro rege et patria—For King and country.
Quis separabit?—Who shall separate?
Quo fata vocant—Whither fate calls.
Spectemur agendo—Let us be judged by our actions.
Nemo me impune lacessit—No one provokes me with impunity.
Nec aspera terrent—Difficulties do not terrify us.
Mente et manu—With mind and hand.
Pristinæ virtutis memores—The memory of former valour.
Viret in æternum—Flourishes for ever.
