The Latin phrase ''Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit'' translates to ''No mortal is wise at all times'' or ''No man is at all times wise''. It expresses the idea that even the wisest individuals are prone to making mistakes or being foolish on occasion.
 
This phrase is famously associated with the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB). The RAOB, also known as the ''Buffs,'' is a fraternal organization with a long history, and this motto is part of their core principles. The motto serves as a reminder of humility and the shared human experience of fallibility.
