An overview of English-language Mottoes used in civic heraldry.

For all mottoes, see Mottoes.

Mottoes are very common in the British-style heraldry (UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand), and much less common in other countries. Therefore the large majority of the mottoes listed here are from towns and councils in the British region.

If you see a motto on the site that is not yet listed here or have any other addition,
please mail me !

Only true mottoes are listed here, no town names in banners around the arms.

The mottoes are sorted by first letter. For clarity no capital letters are used, except the first letter as well as town names.
