| clgo:motto | - Various; none officialref|The RLI had no official motto. Commonly used, but unofficial, mottoes were coined during its existence; perhaps the most well-known, \"They have the faces of boys but they fight like lions\", was created by Platoon Warrant Officer Herod of the Rhodesian African Rifles on 18 March 1968, and put forward as a possible motto by Captain Ronald Reid-Daly on 4 November 1969. \"The Incredible Rhodesian Light Infantry\", originally a toast to the regiment by Prime Minister Ian Smith on its seventh birthday, 1 February 1968, is an alternative, having given the RLI one of its nicknames, \"The Incredibles\". Finally, the words of Lieutenant-General Peter Walls on the 14th Regimental Day, 1 February 1975, are sometimes used; \"Thank God for the Rhodesian Light Infantry\". The Latin motto since adopted by The Rhodesian Light Infantry Regimental Association, Pugnamus Amo Leo, translates into English as \"To Fight Like Lions\".|group=\"n\"|name=\"motto\"
