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!"

Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:
“The old coat that I wear is Concord; it is my morning robe and study gown, my working dress and suit of ceremony, and my nightgown after all. Cleave to the simplest ever. Home,—home,—home. Cars sound like cares to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It does not come to a man that to be separated from a woman is to be dislocated from his very self. A man has but one centre, and that is himself. A woman has two. Though the second may never be seen by her, may live in the arms of another, may do all for that other that man can do for woman,—still, still, though he be half the globe asunder from her, still he is to her the half of her existence.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
