Tom rewrote digits and sayings (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mottoes

'sayings' is the definition.
(I know this)

'tom rewrote digits' is the wordplay.
'rewrote' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'rewritten' mean this).
'digits' becomes 'toes' (toe is a kind of digit).
'tom' with letters rearranged gives 'mot'.
'mot'+'toes'='MOTTOES'

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
