• Source: Nec temere, nec timide

nec" target="_blank">Nec temere, nec" target="_blank">nec timide is a Latin phrase that translates to 'Neither rashly nor timidly'. Its exact origin is unknown although Aristotle in Ethica Nicomachea, Book III, mentions, along with other examples, that the virtuous man is not temerarious nor timorous, but courageous. It is best known as the motto of the Dano-Norwegian naval hero Niels Juel, who supposedly used it first at the dawn of July 1, 1677, just before the Battle of Køge Bay.
The phrase has been used as a motto by armigerous families Bent, Buckley and Sherbourne, as well as individuals including the Williams-Bulkeley baronets and Charles Western, 1st Baron Western.
Today, it is used as a motto by various institutions, including:

The Royal Danish Naval Academy
The former English borough of Oswestry, in Shropshire
The Dutch air assault brigade 11th Airmobile Brigade (Netherlands).
Appleby College
Cottrell Old Yankee Ale
The Michigan Exploration Laboratory
The Royal Quebec Golf Club
The Bulkeley Hotel, Beaumaris
National Paramount Services, LLP, US
The city of Gdańsk
Free City of Danzig, 1920–1939
