Most interpretations simply put it at "I shine, not burn."
I just posted that translation based on a conversation on a clan MacKenzie group. Adding the "o" to the end of the words puts it in the first person. Another conversation puts "virtute et valare" before "luceo non uro" which adds more context to the "I shine". That all said, I'm not a language expert since my high school Latin generally fell on deaf ears ;) ...though I regret that with age.

Clan mottoThe Latin is in first person, so it's "I shine, I do not burn."
