The Georgia General Assembly has never adopted an official motto as such. However, in 1799, when the legislature adopted a new state seal, it provided for an arch containing the word “Constitution” supported by three pillars. The legislation specified that the three pillars represented the three branches of government. Appearing on a banner encircling the three pillars were the words “Wisdom,” “Justice,” and “Moderation”—with each word associated with one pillar. This later led one historian to conclude that “Wisdom” was to apply to the legislative branch in making the laws, “Justice” to the judicial branch in their decisions, and “Moderation” to the executive branch to administer laws in moderation.
