LIST OF MOTTOES USED IN CIVIC, ECCLESIASTICAL, INSTITUTIONAL, MILITARY AND CORPORATE HERALDRY
Mottoes are very common in the British-style civic heraldry (UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand), and much less common in other countries. Therefore the large majority of the mottoes in civic heraldry are from towns and councils in the British heraldic region.
In addition, mottoes are very common in Ecclesiastical and military heraldry worldwide.
Only true mottoes are listed here, no town names in banners around the arms.
The mottoes are listed by language as well as by first letter. For clarity no capital letters are used, except the first letter as well as personal or town names. A translation in English and origin is provided when available.
