Coat of Arms
On the top fourth of the Hackett coat of arms are three shamrocks on a white background, and on the lower portion three fish on a blue background. On most variants of the crest, a double eagle wearing a tiara pearched on two snakes, while a motto reads "Virtue and Fidelity." Other mottos include "By Fortitude and Prudence", "God is my Hope", and "All for now, men!"

And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
And farewell goes out sighing.”
