huyes

Updated: May 27, 2025

The flag of independence, however, only half told the real meaning of its emblem the warning, and not the self-restraint. There is a device, to my notion, much more expressive: a rattlesnake rampant, with the Spanish motto, Ni huyes ni persigues "Thou needst not flee, but thou must not pursue." Or, in other words, "I impose upon no one; no one must impose upon me."
