vincere aut mori - conquer or die
Carpe Cerevisi - Seize the beer!

Reply:Below I found a good website that quotes knight sayings. I liked this one.
You who long for the Knightly Order,
It is fitting you should lead a new life;
Devoutly keeping watch in prayer,
Fleeing from sin, pride and villainy;
The Church defending,
The Widows and Orphans succouring.
Be bold and protect the people,
Be loyal and valiant, taking nothing from others.
Thus should a Knight rule himself.
He should be humble of heart and always work,
And follow Deeds of Chivalry.;
Be loyal in war and travel greatly;
He should frequent tourneys and joust for his Lady Love;
He must keep honor with all,
So that he cannot be held to blame.
No cowardice should be found in his doings,
Above all, he should uphold the weak,
Thus should a Knight rule himself.
— Eustace Deschamps

Reply:All of these are vows of the knights, and the code...any variation would do well as a motto:
To fear God and maintain His Church
To serve the liege lord in valor and faith
To protect the weak and defenseless
To give succor to widows and orphans
To refrain from the wanton giving of offense
To live by Honor and for glory
To despise pecuniary reward
To fight for the welfare of all
To obey those placed in authority
To guard the Honor of fellow knights
To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit
To keep faith
At all times to speak the truth
To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
To respect the Honor of women
Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe
