"With God, all things are possible" is the state motto of the U.S. state of Ohio. It is derived from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 19, Verse 26. The following brief history of this motto is taken from Robert Struble's Treatise on Twelve Lights: About the same time America was entering the space age, a nine year old Cincinnati boy, Jimmy Mastronardo, traveled to his State capitol at Columbus, registered as a lobbyist, and campaigned over the next three years for a new State motto.

  • "With God, all things are possible" is the state motto of the U.S. state of Ohio. It is derived from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 19, Verse 26. The following brief history of this motto is taken from Robert Struble's Treatise on Twelve Lights: About the same time America was entering the space age, a nine year old Cincinnati boy, Jimmy Mastronardo, traveled to his State capitol at Columbus, registered as a lobbyist, and campaigned over the next three years for a new State motto. The boy's dream became political reality. It was enacted by both houses of the Ohio legislature, and in July 1959 was signed into law by then Governor Michael Vincent DiSalle. The words remain to this day (despite back and forth verdicts in Federal Courts) the official motto of the State of Ohio. Previously, in 1866, a Republican General Assembly adopted the motto Imperium in Imperio; only a year later, a Democratic Assembly repealed it. Until the current motto was adopted in 1959, Ohio remained without a state motto.
