Belmont Club: Can Mr Nice Guy Be a Winner?
Winston Churchill had a family coat of arms. “The Churchill crest is blazoned as a Lion couchant guardant Argent, supporting with its dexter Forepaw a Banner Gules, charged with a dexter Hand appaumée of the first, Staff Or.” The Churchill motto Fiel Pero Desdichado (Spanish for “Faithful but Unfortunate”) is also displayed. It is disturbingly barbaric. But the origins of aristocrats can often be traced back to roles that resemble those of warlords. Maybe somewhere a member of the modern bratva is considering “Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat” for his coat of arms.
