Dirigo, meaning I guide, is the State motto of Maine. It alludes to the idea that just as a star guides a sailor home from his seagoing adventures, the State guides its citizens toward the loftiest patriotism.
There are four states with mottos that mention "God." Most people would probably regard them as being religious mottos:
- Arizona: "Ditat Deus" This means "God Enriches in Latin."
- Florida: "In God We Trust." -- identical to the current national motto
- Ohio: "With God, All Things Are Possible." This is a direct biblical quotation from the King James Version of Matthew 19:25-26: "When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
- South Dakota: "Under God, The People Rule."
There are three other states with mottos that make reference to "God."
- Colorado: "Nothing Without Providence"
- Connecticut: "He Who Transplanted Still Sustains"
- Maine: "I Direct"
