Maine State Motto"Dirigo" (Official)The Maine state motto "Dirigo" is Latin for "I direct", "I lead" or "I guide" and the Maine state motto appears on the state seal and state flag. "...as the Polar Star has been considered the mariner's guide and director in conducting the ship over the pathless ocean to the desired haven, and as the center of magnetic attraction; as it has been figuratively used to denote the point, to which all affections turn, and as it is here intended to represent the State, it may be considered the citizens' guide, and the object to which the patriot's best exertions should be directed." In this way the Polar star is compared to Maine, both viewed as 'guides'. In other words, they represent a certain place of reference and trust that will always be there - hence the Maine state motto: "I guide". Maine State Nicknames "The Pine Tree State"
