Most of these are stupid. All the religious ones are stupid. Maine's "I direct"... you direct what? That makes no sense. Utah "Industry".... what industry? It's not like Utah was Pennsylvania or Ohio or something. That state has like no industry. California's is just funny.
I'm convinced most people are voting New Hampshire because it is the most well-known, not the best.
I think the best state motto is actually Missouri the downside is that it is Missouri's and therefore hypocritical. Then again, any state can have Missouri's motto and it would be hypocritical so I guess it doesn't matter if it's Missouri or not at that point.
Kansas. The motto reflects its history. To the stars- means becoming a state and getting its star on the US flag- through difficulties- think of Bleeding Kansas.
Lots of hard work was needed to conquer all hardships on the farms when Oklahoma was admitted as a state in 1907. But even before the Great Depression started, advances in mechanized agriculture were already cutting from the hard work needed, making a number of rural people migrate to the cities in Oklahoma. But then it could surely pointed out that lots of hard work was needed to build up the cities.
As a Minnesotan, I have never once in my life heard, "I Long to See What is Beyond". Where did that even come from?
It's always only been L'Étoile du Nord (the Star of the North).
That one's kinda cool. Illinois' motto (which I've also never heard in my life) is garbage though. "State Sovereignty, National Union" is like if you told a 2018-era AI to come up with a state motto.
