Une bonne devise vous pose en quelques mots un personnage (roi, ministre, aventurier), une action guerri\u00e8re (forc\u00e9ment courageuse), une politique ou une cause (R\u00e9publique, socialisme, anarchie). Au Moyen \u00c2ge, Dieu s\u2019affiche souvent, mais le bestiaire illustre \u00e9galement le blason de la noblesse. Le latin vaut langue originale et les meilleures devises se copient-collent \u00e0 l\u2019envi.<\/p>\n
