Family Motto - Nullius in verba
The Royal Society's motto 'Nullius in verba', roughly translated as 'Take nobody's word for it', dates back to 1663, and is an expression of the determination of the Fellows to withstand the domination of authority (such as in Scholasticism) and to verify all statements by an appeal to facts determined by experiment. The Latin words are taken from a passage of Horace in which the poet compares himself to a gladiator, who, having earned peace and retirement, is free from control.
