In 1987, Oregon adopted the new motto “She Flies With Her Own Wings”.

Person 2: “Ahhh… it’s OK.”
Now that’s enthusiasm about your state!
By the way… Oklahoma Plays Nebraska at 12:00 EST this Saturday! Go Sooners!

California’s motto by way of Jimmy Buffett:
“We got riots, fires and mudslides. We got sushi in the mall.”

Enright3, Oklahoma’s motto is “Labor Omnia Vincit” (Labor Conquers All Things.)
Utah’s is “Industry”. Way to get creative there, Utah!
Kentucky, I think. “United We stand, Divided we Fall”. That’s how it’s printed on our flags. Not in Latin, just plain English.
