Sweetness does more than violence)'' |orders = |badge = |symbolism = The arms symbolise various parts of Heath's life. The bend grady represents the zig-zag pattern of the Royal Artillery tie, as well as Broadstairs, his birthplace. The green colour is for heath, while the purple is for heather, which refers to his surname. The cloud symbolises 'Morning Cloud', his yacht. The irradiations issuing from it symbolise entering the European communities. The portcullis is the symbol of Parliament and represents his career as a politician.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvuPAMuzek8 | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/vvuPAMuzek8| archive-date=11 December 2021 | url-status=live|title=heraldry |last=John Dough |date=23 August 2015 |access-date=5 October 2017|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The swan and the gold cup in the crest represent two livery companies: the [[Worshipful Company of Musicians]] (of which he was an honorary freeman) and the [[Goldsmiths' Company]] (of which he was a liveryman), respectively. Heath's captaincy of yachting teams is symbolised by the naval crown in the crest. The sea-lion and white horse supporters are both taken from the Kent county coat of arms, honouring the county that Heath was born in as well as the location of his parliamentary constituency. The voided escutcheon on the sea-lion's neck also appears in the arms of [[Balliol College]], Heath's alma mater. The horse is gorged with a ducal coronet, which refers to the crown in the arms of the [[Diocese of Salisbury]]. This symbolises the location of Heath's home in Salisbury. Heath's motto was taken from a motto that appeared on his clavichord.<ref name="auto2"/> }}
