State Mottos by BarkerC

The most famous state motto in the United States is, likely, this state's "Live Free or Die"

The only U.S. state with an official motto in French is, surprisingly, not Louisiana, but rather this state's "L'étoile du Nord"

New York City native Stan Lee could likely tell you that this is New York's one-word Latin motto, meaning "Ever Upward".

This state's English motto, adopted in 1779, is "Freedom and Unity". In 2015, it adopted a different Latin motto, Stella quarta decima fulgeat or "May the 14th star shine bright."

This southern state's motto is "In God We Trust." No, seriously, in 1868, what is now America's third most populous state just copied the national motto and called it a day.

America's shortest motto, "Hope", belongs to this state with the longest official name.

This state's ten word motto, "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain." appears on the state flag on a massively long banner weighing down an eagle in flight.

The oldest state motto is Qui transtulit sustinet or "He who transplanted sustains", which was adopted in 1662 when this state was still an English colony.

Amazingly, this state did not change its motto even after it was yelled out by an homicidal actor on the evening of April 14, 1865.

The only state motto taken directly from the Bible is this state's use of Matthew 19:26 "With God, all things are possible." It was adopted in 1959 when it had been pointed out it was the only one of the continental United States that lacked an official motto.

This state's beautiful Ad astra per aspera is also seen as the motto of the pre-Federation Starfleet on Star Trek: Enterprise

Closely related to a phrase associated with a Kentucky-born president and specifically an 1858 Senate campaign speech in which he referenced Mark 3:25, what is the six-word English motto of the state of Kentucky?
