Unofficial mottos of Poland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poland does not have an official state motto i.e. one that is declared as such by national law.
There are however some mottos which appear commonly on banners, flags and other symbols in Poland.
The phrase Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna ("God, Honour, Fatherland"), which is the most common phrase on currently issued military standards.
Another phrase commonly shown on military banners is 'Za wolność Waszą i Naszą ("For your freedom and ours"). It dates back to the times when Polish soldiers, exiled from the partitioned Poland, fought in various independence movements all over the world. It is still often invoked in official speeches, including those of US President George W. Bush regarding Poland's help in the war against Saddam Hussain regime.
