Since the foundation, Winchester College has had numerous words and phrases directly associated with it, including its motto, its graces, and a prayer. A grace is read before and after every lunch and formal meal in College Hall. Two separate graces are traditionally sung during Election, the scholarship process.

''Manners makyth man''<br/>
– Motto of Winchester College, [[New College, Oxford]], and the founder of the two colleges, [[William of Wykeham]]
