[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help me pick a "family motto" or something like that. (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 8/27/2016 8:32:03 PM EDT

I have come to understand my own family does not have a tradition of strong family loyalty. It's not bad really, but I think the family will be stronger and healthier with a firm foundation. I want to encourage a sense of service and selflessness. On my side of the family there is a history of average working class people getting by, and on my wifes side is a history of more wealthy people being a bit more selfish and more focused mainly on conserving wealth. Being frugal is a great quality, but I don't think it should be as important as other things. On a regular basis I demonstrate these things I want to encourage and I try to teach it. Now, I would like try to put into words this idea so I can I can use it as an occasional reminder. So, lets here some suggestions. I'm sure this isn't a new and unique idea.

By the way, I think what you're trying to do is awesome. Gotta start somewheres and why not with you?

Actually, this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone anywhere doing it for the first time. Modern day, not medieval shit.

I would do it in English not Latin, make it American.

Is this like one of those weird coat of arms threads, or like that guy that wanted to buy a cheap mass produced sword as a family heirloom type of thread?

Not sure how indoctrinating your descendants to be servants is supposed to make your family stronger. Sounds more like you want to produce a line of betas.

On my side of the family there is a history of average working class people getting by, and on my wifes side is a history of more wealthy people being a bit more selfish and more focused mainly on conserving wealth. Being frugal is a great quality, but I don't think it should be as important as other things. On a regular basis I demonstrate these things I want to encourage and I try to teach it.

I've never heard of anyone doing it, so it may in fact be new and unique. But, I'll give it a shot. How about:

- We exist to serve
- Your wish is our command
- Our money and our lives are at your service

My daughter traced our family back to early medieval England.

I had three ancestors at the signing of the Magna Carta.

The least noble was there as a witness. The next noble was high enough station to actually be a signatory. I forget their names off hand. The third one was King John!

But here's the family crest of the witness:

My family has been rocking truck nuts for 800 years!!!
