SWIFT COAT OF ARMS

The motto of the Swift Coat of Arms is:  Festina Lente
Translated from Latin it means:  make haste slowly or hurry slowly which is quite funny as swift means quick or fast.  What the motto actually means is:  Do things in the proper way instead of hurriedly or to think first before jumping in without thinking something through!  I'd say this is a very wise motto!  Congratulations to my forefather who came up with this oxymoron as a motto!!!
