No. It is the motto of the Order of the Thistle and it represents the highest honor in Scotland, and it is second only in precedence to the Order of the Garter.

ORDER OF THE THISTLE

I also wear it inscribed in a ring around my finger.

Very interesting.

It is also the family motto of Montresor, the narrating character in Edgar Allen Poe's A Cask of Amontillado, which you may read by clicking on the linked title. It is one of my favorite stories by Poe.
