USA = "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Canada = "Peace, order, and good government."
France = "Liberté, égalité, fraternité."
Zimbabwe = "Unity, Freedom, Work" (contributed by

England = ???
I feel that England needs one. I think ALL countries need one. They might be nothing but empty rhetoric, but I can't help feeling like each one of them captures SOMETHING, however small.
Let's make one up. Or give me one tiny piece. Or, hey, gimme one for your home or the country of your choice. C'mooooon, we all like pithy slogans, yeah?
ETA: And in a nice bit of internet serendipity, I just stumbled across this: DC's looking for a new slogan itself! OK, so you didn't win the contest to be the new voice of Metrorail. You can still be a part of DC history, just like Marion Barry! Consider this your warm-up exercise. :D
