Is there a better way to write this?

I would like to write:

His ‘motto’ of sorts seems to be...

However, as I read it, it does not feel right.

Is this correct? If so, is there a way to make it better? (or stay the same)

I wouldn't be saying "of sorts" in this case, although I wouldn't say it's definitely wrong it doesn't sound right as you mentioned. "His motto seems to be... "

That doesn't sound like a motto. What do you mean by 'motto', Fastidiously?
