No one provokes me with impunity

READY, AYE READY

Mottoes, the Good the Bad and the Ugly.

Malaysia- Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu (Bahasa Malaysia)

Unity is Strength

Algeria- بالشعب و للشعب (Arabic),

By the people and for the people

Lithuania- Tautos jėga vienybėje! (Lithuanian).

The strength of the nation is unity!

Armenia- Մեկ Ազգ, Մեկ Մշակույթ (Armenian),
Mek Azg, Mek Ashakouyt,

One Nation, One Culture

Yugoslavia- Bratstvo i jedinstvo

Brotherhood and unity

Indonesia- Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Old Javanese),

Unity in diversity

Andorra- Virtus, Unita, Fortior (Latin),

Virtue united is stronger

The majority of national mottoes, include the words, unity, strength,
virtue, this is understandable, as they are national, patriotic mottos.

Many also refer to God e.g. USA –“In God We Trust”.

Sadly, in reality, many nations which have such idealistic
mottoes are anything but unified, can be undemocratic,
and consequentlyare unstable.

The Royal Arms of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, has
“Dieu et mon droit” (French),
“God and my right”,

whilst the motto is from the Order of the Garter,
“Honi soit qui mal y pense” (Old French):
"Shame upon him who thinks evil of it".

The motto of Wales is that of the Prince of Wales
“Ich Dien” (German)
“I serve”.

Scotland- "Nemo me impune lacessit" ((Latin),
No one provokes me with impunity

The United Kingdom mottoes listed above are meaningful
and apt.

Out of the small selection of mottoes mentioned

above, I like the Scottish Motto:

"Nemo me impune lacessit" (Latin),

“No one provokes me with impunity”

The kick-arse motto of Scotland is to the point,
honest, firm, resolute, not wishy-washy,
idealistic or religious.
