Pithy sayings about your country

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Every country has a pithy saying that is supposed to define its principles.  For example:

Canada - Peace, order and good government

U.S.A. - Life, liberty and the pursuit of happieness

What do other have as "traditions" in one line.

Ireland - None...

But, here's Article 1 of the Bunreacht na hÉireann (Constitution of Ireland):

The Irish nation hereby affirms its inalienable, indefeasible, and sovereign right to choose its own form of Government, to determine its relations with other nations, and to develop its life, political, economic and cultural, in accordance with its own genius and traditions.quote>

I loved the old Strategic Air Command's motto "Peace Is Our Profession" posted over the bases full of B-52 bombers and other assorted flying nuclear equipped arsenals. Goes right along with "Peace At Any Cost".

No. It's a pun, see. 'Superior by nature' could mean that we're naturally better than everyone, and it also points out the lake and natural surroundings. And our natural surroundings are quite nice.

We don't have big pit mines here.
