I remember my school having a motto.
“mens sana in corpore sano”
Remarkably it used to just fit around the expensive school blazer badge.
Not all of us started, or ended up, with the attributes suggested!

I am checking the translations (Oxford Dictionary of Latin) and fake input will be deleted - unless it’s amusing!
You mean like Biggus Dickus? (from the Monty Python film)
or his wife’s name: Incontinentia Buttox.

Neither did we. It no longer exists either, they pulled it down & built a housing estate on the land.

My school had no Latin motto, indeed the school badge and school song seemed to have no relevance to its founding in 1674 by a relative of Sir William Harvey. The badge (and song) was all about the Battle of Trafalgar about 130 years later when a ship (Temeraire) captained by some descendant of William Harvey sank a French ship and captured another - the French ships names being at the bottom of the badge.
The only remarkable thing about it is that the Temeraire symbolises a new age (or rather the end of an old one) in Turner’s painting “The Fighting Temeraire” as she is towed away to be scrapped by a steam powered tug.
BTW I hated every moment of school from the day I started to the day I walked out after the last “O” level exam
