All fifty states in America have mottos. Many are like Virginia’s. “We dare defend our rights” are the official words of the state of Alabama. “The people rule” is written on the flag of Arkansas. Massachusetts uses this saying: “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.”
Other states use religious thoughts in their motto. The state seal of Arizona has “God enriches” written on it. If you see a flag from Kentucky, you will find these words: “Let us be grateful to God.” Colorado says there is “Nothing without God.” And, the words, “In God We Trust” are found on the money used in the United States. That is also the motto of the state of Florida.
Michigan has a motto that deals with its geography. Since Michigan is nearly surrounded by the Great Lakes, the state motto is: “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you.” The state of Indiana lies near the middle on a map of the United States. Indiana’s motto is: “The Crossroads of America.”
One of the shortest mottos is that of California. On the seal of this state is the Greek word, “Eureka.” In English that means, “I have found it.” And to Mr. Ming who sent us this question, we say “gratius ago” … thank you.
