State Mottos are LAME
I just happen to be looking at some State Mottos on Wikipedia and I realized something - THEY ARE LAME!!!
Here are some of the worst ones:
Colorado - Nil sine numine (Latin, "Nothing without Providence" or "Nothing without the Deity")
Florida - In God we trust
Hawaii - Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono (Hawaiian, "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness")
Ohio - With God, all things are possible
South Dakota - Under God the people rule
Washington - Al-ki (Chinook Jargon, "By and by")
Michigan - Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam circumspice (Latin, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you")
New Mexico - Crescit eundo (Latin, "It grows as it goes")
North Carolina - Esse quam videri (Latin, "To be rather than to seem")
Oregon - Alis volat propriis (Latin, "She flies with her own wings")
Virginia - Sic semper tyrannis (Latin, "Thus always to tyrants")
Rhode Island - Hope
Oklahoma - Labor vincit omnia (Latin, "Labor conquers all things")
Texas - Friendship
Utah - Industry
Wisconsin - Forward
Wyoming - Equal rights
Here are some of the worst ones:
