(\"They do what appears to be impossible\")ref|Svea Life Guards' motto is Possunt nec posse videntur and is translated by the Svea Life Guards to \"modern Swedish\" as De gör det som syns vara omöjligt (\"They do what appears to be impossible\"). A more literal translation is De kan, de ser inte bara ut att kunna or De kunna, ehuru de synas icke kunna (\"They could, though they seem to not be able\"). The motto probably appeared the first time on one of the Life Guard's colours of the 1686 model.|group=note
