Today at school we did a little test on how well we know the 50 states. The hints were given in state flowers, state nicknames, and state mottoes. I found the mottoes especially interesting. So here is my little quiz for you: Can you match the 50 states with their mottoes?

He who transplants sustains

Nothing without Providence

Under God the people rule

In God We Trust

The life of the land is perpetuated by righteousness

God enriches

Let us be grateful to God

With God, all things are possible

Liberty and Independence

Justice for All

State sovereignty, national union

Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation

Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain

Union, justice, confidence

Live free or die

Virtue, liberty and independence

Freedom and Unity

Liberty and prosperity

Hope

Thus always to tyrants

While I breathe, I hope; Ready in soul and resource

She Flies With Her Own Wings

Let it be perpetual

Labor conquers all things

Industry

The people rule

By valor and arms

Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law

Equality before the law

Equal rights

Forward

Friendship

I lead

By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty

Liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable

Excelsior (ever upward)

Eureka (I have found it)

Gold and Silver

Agriculture and commerce

The crossroads of America

We dare defend our rights

Mountaineers are always free

By and by

If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you

To be, rather than to seem

The star of the North

North to the future

To the stars through difficulties

Manly deeds, womanly words

It grows as it goes

(Here are the answers, if you want to know in a hurry!)

America

O beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful, for pilgrim feet

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;

Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!

O beautiful, for heroes proved

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life!

America! America! May God thy gold refine,

Till all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

O beautiful, for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years,

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears!

America! America! God shed His grace on thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

We at The Pleasant Times try our utmost to provide you with beautiful artwork to illustrate our posts. We make sure that when you click the picture, it will go directly to the picture page on Allposters, sparing you the disgust of searching for it yourself among some rather awful paintings. If you are at all tempted to buy any of the artwork featured, you might be interested in a little button under the painting on the Allposters product page, that says "View in Room." This handy-dandy feature lets you see the artwork framed and on a wall in a variety of rooms. We enjoyed playing with it, and thought you might like to know about it.
