States' Latin Mottoes Define Democracy on CTCWeb

Needham, MA - March 16, 2005 In Alabama people dare in Latin, in North Carolina it is better to be than to seem in Latin, in New York they are higher in Latin, and in Wyoming arms yield to the gown in Latin. Find out what your state does in Latin from the Classics Technology Center on the Web’s (CTCWeb, http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb) complete collection of US state mottoes. “E pluribus unum may be the guiding principle of our nation, but out of one country our many states tout their individuality through their own Latin mottoes,” said Wendy E. Owens, CTCWeb Editor-in-Chief. “This collection of US states’ mottoes adds the strength of a nation to our number one ranking for Latin mottoes on Google.”

Today CTCWeb adds to its growing collection of Latin mottoes with the addition of fifty-one mottoes, which include mottoes from the fifty states and the District of Columbia. Not all states selected Latin as a means for expressing their founding principles and individuality. Twenty-five of the states have Latin mottoes, twenty-one have English mottoes, and the others’ mottoes are in Hawaiian, French, Spanish, Ancient Greek and Chinook. These polyglot mottoes reflect the ideals of the people who formed the states by highlighting democracy, freedom, and justice; traits that bind the states into a united nation.
