text: From 1756 to 1898, the motto read Sine Moribus Vanae, when a wag pointed out that the motto could "HOOK EM" Vanae. In 1932, all elements of the seal were revised, and as part of the redesign it was decided that the motto "mutilated" Horace, and it was changed to its present wording, Leges Sine Moribus Vanae.
