The motto is from the opening words of a poem on Samuel Pepys, by Rudyard Kipling, once a resident of Crowborough. The first stanza of the poem reads: Like as the Oak, whose roots descend. Through earth and stillness seeking food, Most apt to furnish in the end That dense, indomitable wood. | The motto is from the opening words of a poem on Samuel Pepys, by Rudyard Kipling, once a resident of Crowborough.
