Jim, remember this one ?

"The Knights Templars would swear never to draw their swords unless convinced of the justice of the cause in which they were engaged, nor sheathe it until their enemies were subdued. Many swords used in this tradition, especially those from Spain, often bore the following engraving: “No me saques sin razon. No me embaines sin honor,” meaning “Do not draw me without justice, do not sheath me without honor.”
