Guiding maxim (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motto

'guiding maxim' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for motto that I've seen before include "It may be proverbial" , "device" , "(Family) maxim" , "Repeated theme in music" , "Catchphrase" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun and the Universal.
