What's your stat's motto?

[Xcalibur]

And what does it mean (if it's a bit hard to understand)?

Mine is my signature and it means that even if we were born under the lis (France's flag) we grow by the rose (England's flag)

[Artha]

Sic Semper Tyranus.

And thus to tyrants.

Our flag has a guy with a spear standing over a dead guy with his crown fallen off.

[Zeyrin]

I originally live in West Virginia, the motto is...

Mountaineers are always free

South Carolina has two mottoes:

(1) Dum Spiro Spero, meaning "While I Breath I Hope" and refers to the figure of Hope on the State Seal, and

(2) "Animis Opibusque Parati" meaning "Ready in Soul and Resource"

Latin for: "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty."

It's so damned expensive to live here I'm thinking of moving south some just so I can afford a house someday.

I have no idea what North Carolinas is.. I havnt been here long enough to find out I guess.
I could make some guesses.. but a lot of them involve rednecks and trailer parks and cars up on blocks in your backyard....

I've only been in NC going on 4 years now. I'll try to find what the state motto is.

[Ravenstorm]

New York: Excelsior

NEW YORK -


SMOKIN WIT MA HOMIEZ N BUSTIN CAPS IN WHITEY

[Betheny]

North Carolina - "Esse Quam Videri" (To Be Rather Than to Seem

[Zeyrin]

How lame. NC motto sucks.

[LazyBard]

washington - yea its still fucking raining

[Overlord]

"Eureka" (I have found it)

[Latrinsorm]

Shouldn't the guy in the Minnesota seal be WATCHING WHERE HE'S PLOWING?? The last thing we need is a runaway plowman. Those things are sharp.

Oh yeah, and it turns out my state motto is "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains". I think it's a God reference. They must've changed it since I've been in college. Jerks.

[Bestatte]

Our State Sign:

This Road Under Construction

(Connecticut)

[LazyBard]

ok I got bored on the walk back to illistim and actually had to go find out what Washingtons state motto was


The state motto is Al-ki or Alki, a Chinook Indian word meaning "bye and bye" or "hope for the future."


I think "yes its still fucking raining" fits better

[Kurili]

'Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice'

'If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you'

Michigan

If no one comes up with any of my other 'homes' I might add them later on.

Acolyte Kurili, "We didnt take vacations, we moved"

[AnticorRifling]

I think our state motto is "Look, more corn."

Maryland owns all.

Calvert Motto - "Fatti maschii parole femine"

loosely translated "manly deeds, womanly words," but more accurately translated as "strong deeds, gentle words."

Inscription around the seal is - "with favor wilt thou compass us as with a shield."

Mine is Nevada "All for our country."

[Brat8525]
