Famous quotes containing the words crest and/or motto:
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“My motto is: “Lord I disbelieve—help thou my unbelief.””
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
