Where does "God, Honor, Homeland" come from? A surprisingly recent motto
The motto "God, Honor, Homeland" is regarded as an ancient Polish maxim, but historian Kamil Janicki explains in his book "Polskość" that it is nearly contemporary. The historical Polish motto is "Honor and Homeland," associated with the Knightly School – the word "God" was added much later. PiS MP Andrzej Melak called on the government to "correct" the inscription above the prime minister's office, which reads only "Honor, Homeland" – unaware that this version is actually closer to tradition.
