Georgia State Creed
Accepting, as I do, the principles upon which Georgia was founded, not for self but others; its Democratic form of Government, based on 'Wisdom, Justice and Moderation'; ts natural resources; its Educational, Social and Religious advantages, making it a most desirable place to live I will strive to be a pure upright Citizen, rejecting the evils loving and emulating the good. I further believe it is my duty to defend it against all enemies, to honor and obey its laws, to apply the Golden Rule in all my dealings with my fellow Citizens. I feel a sense of pride in the history and heroic deeds accomplished by my forebears, and shall endeavor to so live that my State will be proud of me for doing my bit to make my State a better Commonwealth for future generations. Approved March 4, 1939
State Symbols
Our Georgia "It’s a grand old state our Georgia Where the Swanee River flows A bit of God’s own heaven As everybody knows And when I go roaming A longing fills my breast A song there comes from out my heart For the state I love the best." So wrote James Burch of Thomasville in 1950 for lyrics to his waltz "Our Georgia." After he performed the song at the State Democratic Convention, the legislature designated it the State Waltz in 1951. Georgia Related Pages Nurse Related Pages Law Enforcement Related Pages Misc.
