Actually, Idaho's motto is "Esto Perpetua".
Which, as near as I can tell, means "it seems to take forever to get through this place on the way to Oregon--the wagon is making me seasick, and the kids are all going nuts".
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
(Ellen)

No wonder the men like Nevada... 
I kinda like New Hampshire's motto; Go Away And Leave Us Alone. At least that's honest! 
If Finland had one, I doubt that it would be "The Land of Hell"...  Although I bet some tourists are curious to see "Welcome to Hel" signs about the capital...
