About your state

Do you know what your state motto is?

Indiana's state motto is, "the crossroads of America"

California's state motto is "Eureka! ...I have found it!"
I didn't know that. Really, I lived there for many years and never once thought to wonder what the state motto was. Now that I know, I don't care :-)

Arkansas' state motto is, "The People Rule". I like that one.

The state motto for Texas is, "Friendship".

The ACLU challenged, (and lost) Ohio because their state motto is, "With God, all things are possible"

Some states have very interesting motto's when you consider the "state" they are in...

New Hampshire "Live Free or Die"
Massachusetts "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty"
New Jersey "Liberty and Prosperity"
Pennsylvania "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence"
Delaware "Liberty and Independence"
