I like this one and like to think it applies to me

    Wyoming: nil illigitimi carborundum, or "don't let the buzzards grind you down."

    Actually, that's not true. But I have no idea what the real one is. The State Seal says "Equal Rights," in English. But isn't it in the Constitution somewhere that a state motto must be in Latin? And I took Latin i8n High School, but didn't inhale.

    OHIO - During the early 1950s, the Ohio legislature sponsored a contest for selecting a state motto. "With God All Things Are Possible" became Ohio's state motto on October 1, 1959. James Mastronardo, a twelve-year-old boy recommended this quotation from the Bible.
