Best non-Latin state motto:

[Robb]

Poll question: Best non-Latin state motto:

Don't get me wrong, Latin's cool and all. These are my faves in the non-Latin mottoeses.

You?

[KamaAina]

1. "Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina i ka pono" (guess where?)

That'd be Hawai'i: "The life of the land is perpetuated in (righteousness/harmony/balance)". Figures the official translation would pick "righteousness", the only one of the three that doesn't fit. F'n haoles! :sarcasm:

[Guaranteed]

2. I'm not so sure about the fatalistic ones...

I actually kind of like Georgia's.

[VelmaD]

3. I like my state motto here in Texas

Friendship

Comes from "Tejas"...the Caddo Indians of eastern Texas who called their group of tribes the "Tejas," meaning "those who are friends".

"Live, Freeze and Die"

[Manifestor_of_Light]

Half of it is under water and half of it is under indictment.

Louisiana - God invented us to make Texas politics look CLEAN.

14. Both of my states--Illinois and Iowa--have good ones, imo

But if I have to vote for one, it's Iowa's. Then there's this:

IOWA--Illnois Only Without Assholes

They should put that on the flag.
