Let's have some fun with examples of canting Arms and Mottos.
The late heraldist, Rev Frank Best, has a quote from a Psalm, "Be Still In The Lord" - the first four letters of which spell his surname.
The old National federation of Self-Employed & Small Businesses Ltd (now the "fsb" has a Motto where the initial letters spell NFSE.
These are for starters - there are many more out there.

Sir Harry Secombe's motto was 'Go On'.*
John Campbell-Kease's motto is 'Partake as equals'.
A South African family named Brand, of German origin, bears canting arms depicting a flaming cauldron ("brand" means "fire").
------------------------
* He appeared in a long-running BBC radio comedy series called 'The Goon Show', where he played a character named 'Neddie Seagoon'.

The achievement of the Standard Bank of South Africa, granted in 1955, contains both canting arms and a canting motto, which can be translated as "let the standard advance".
