Take Guard (French term, often used in family crests)

Prenez guarde or faites gaffe means watch out or be careful, mostly as a warning. The expression comes from the old France where people had swords and it was customary to hear "Prenez guarde" when defied by someone wiling to fight. or "Pull your sword and fight!"
