Quis separabit |
Quis separabit
(Latin: Who will separate [us]?) is a motto
of the Royal Dragoon Guards,[1] the Order of St. Patrick, The Royal Ulster
Rifles, The London Irish Rifles, the Irish Guards[2] and the North Irish Horse.
The phrase also appears on the Seal of South Carolina.
It was the motto of the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards,[3] a
cavalry regiment of the British Army from 1922 to 1992. It was the motto of the
Connaught Rangers, a British Army regiment, from its amalgamation in 1881 until
it was disbanded in 1922. Prior to this, it was the motto of the precursor
regiment of the Rangers, the 88th Regiment of Foot (Connaught Rangers) which
was founded in 1793. It was also the motto of the Royal Ulster Rifles and the
Ulster Defence Regiment.
It was the motto of the former Government of Northern
Ireland and appeared on the province's defunct coat of arms. It is also the
motto of the Ulster Defence Association, a proscribed loyalist paramilitary in
Northern Ireland.[4] The source is the Vulgate translation of Romans, 8:35:
"Quis nos separabit a caritate Christi...", translated as "Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ?".
