The state motto of Tennessee is “Agriculture and Commerce.”

This was decided in 1987

This is what I remember below and IMO

This is the state Motto.

“The Volunteer State.”

Aside from the state motto of Tennessee, an unofficial nickname is “The Volunteer State.” The origin of this nickname stems from the War of 1812 when many Tennessee men heeded Governor Blount’s call for men to enlist.

I heard Wisconsin's motto is 'Eat Cheese or Die'.

Dunno if that's true, I'm from Oregon. I think their motto has something to do with webbed feet.....

**Steeveedee** · 12-15-2020, 12:00 AM

In California, it's actually fffp

here-

**DeadheadNM** · 12-15-2020, 12:06 AM

Wisconsin replaced that in 1851 with the motto “Forward”

I love cheese. Not so much cheese curds but a ten year cheddar.

"Salus Populi Suprema Lex Esto"

let the welfare of the people be the supreme law

**special-K** · 12-15-2020, 07:32 AM

"Fatti Maschii Parole Femine"

It's Italian. Why, I dunno. In the language of our land it translates to "Manly Deeds, Womanly Words". Now I'm confused. They say now it is commonly expressed (by who?) as "Strong Deeds, Gentle Needs". I might be less confused now?

Personally, I prefer "Maryland Is For Crabs"
