Hi Steve, et al,
pondered this for a while.
I too, dislike the latin, whether it's correct or not - I stumbled in my reading of it.
Mottos that I have encountered have been very few words, and though I know the terms are too archaic, I suggest in the hope it will inspire you, "Sword" and "Shield". ("Earthsword" and "Earthshield"?)
Perhaps too, "No Cost Too Great" or similar. Though fewer words would give more punch.
I lean away from the "Never give up..." because Bruce Springsteen did it so well with his song, "No Surrender" - "...no retreat, baby, no surrender..." and this was hardly a new term then.
I hope this has helped.
Cheers,
