Festina Lente

Means "Hasten Slowly" in latin, and is well known to be the snail motto. It's also the motto of the Earl of Onslow, but I can't guarantee the Earls of Onslow had ever anything to do with snails, except maybe eating some on a trip to France. 

I went on the genealogy of this old sentence until I found it on Macrobius Saturnalia. I guess it was written for the roman winter feast -not for the love of a  sauropodomorph. And it was quoted :

Σπεῦδε βραδέως
But I'm sorry I never ever spoke greek.

My dear Maman used to tease us with this sentence when we were teenagers.
