SOF mottos

Hi,

I start a thread about all SOF mottos around the world, or any other motto that is in the spirit of SOF.

There are fews:

Who Dares Wins. origin from "Qui Ose Gagne" (British SAS)
De Oppresso Liber. (US SF) (Ok I'm not a cock...., that's why I didnt put it first )
Facta non Verba. "Deeds, not words" (JTF-2, Canadian SOF)
Osons. (or "we dare") (former Canadian Airborne Regiment)
On Rit avec le Diable. "We laugh with the devil" (French, 6RPIMa)
Yesterday was the Last Easy Day. (US NAVY SEALS)
Follow Me. (US Infantry)
Win the Mind Win the Day.
Knowledge is Power.
Nous Défions. "We defy" ( WWII origin)
First in Last out.
You don't have to like it, you just have to do it. (origin: a book ...)
Could be worst. (universal)
Still having fun? (After a looonnnngggg run).

That`s it for now. your turn.

Also, I believe that "Facta not Verba" translates to: Deeds not Words

Isn't it "Opera Non Verba"?

I'm partial to "Fortes Fortuna Juvat" Fortune Favors the Brave.

"Fide et Fortitudine" By fidelity and fortitude

I am not sure it is a motto but:

'Geronimo'

'grab them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow'

'trust me....'

All of Air Rescue uses that motto. My father taught me that when I was just a kid and he was with the Air Rescue Service. My mom always thought that was the best motto.

German SS during WW2: "Meine Ehre heißt Treue ("My honor is called loyalty.")

31 Combat Communications Squadron: "You can talk about us, but you can't talk without us."
