8 State Mottos That I Love

Each state in the U.S. has a motto that captures the sentiments of the people at the time the state was created. Mottos can be found inscribed on coins, buildings and monuments. Here are 8 favorites that capture how I see America:
  1. Live Free or Die—New Hampshire
  2. Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain—Iowa
  3. United We Stand, Divided We Fall—Kentucky
  4. Liberty and Prosperity—New Jersey
  5. While I breathe, I hope—South Carolina
  6. Equal Rights—Wyoming
  7. Justice to all—Washington, D.C.
  8. The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law—Missouri
