Minnesotans have a strength similar to their rivers, slowly and steadily carving a channel through iron-hard rock. The fluid and passive overcomes the hard and stubborn.
We are steeped in adversity and diversity. Immigrants find a welcoming place here, for they have suffered great trials already, and now add to our collective strength and resolve.
We have not forgotten that we are all the same in the eyes of our Creator, and that out of the many we are one. E Pluribus Unum!
We are a kind and welcoming people. Do not mistake kindness for weakness, and if you will behave like savages you are no longer welcome.
We have a strength borne out of a respect for the Truth, for this is what separates us from the animals. Out of lies comes a great distrust, hence, In God We Trust!
The song of Hiawatha beats in our hearts, of a passion for peace and unity. Like Minnehaha, fallen heroes lie under the snow and hemlocks.
We are the Star of the North, a guide for those who have lost hope and direction. Our light will continue to shine in the darkness.
