Pretty good. New Hampshire's is not that much different than it's real one which is, unless I'm mistaken: "Live free or die."
California's actual motto is "Eureka!" Short, and to the point.

I thought Iowa's motto was "Gateway to Nebraska"?
Wisconsins is actually short and to the point like Cali's: "Forward"' Maybe it should be "Chicagos first line of defense from Iowa, Minnesota, and Yoopers". Gilly

I would have to agree with Mississippi's in comparison to the actual motto of "It's like coming home", which has no relevance.

I can imagine the committees where a state motto is chosen must be a tough gig.
Reminds me of a billboard that used to be up (probably still is) on the highway by the town of George, Washington (yes, it's true) that said: GEORGE, WASHINGTON. IF YOU LIVED HERE, YOU'D BE HOME NOW.

Louisiana?
Louisiana's real motto is "Third World . . . and Proud of It!" (Or maybe that should be the one for New Orleans alone.)

It was a joke, of course. As for the New Jersey motto, if I'm not mistaken there was a contest to come up with a replacement for "New Jersey and you, perfect together," and the one listed here was actually a contest entry.

Why should we? I use cologne every single day, why ruin it with the smell of gas or diesel? It's so much easier to pull up and say: "Fill it up super please." You guys are just jealous because you have to do it yourself. I just whip out cash and press the button for the fuel latch to open. Plus the gas attendants always make you look good if you are with a girl. They walk up to the car and tell you how awesome it looks or what a nice girl you have in your car. It's a win win situation.
