{{quotation|''A goose quill is more dangerous than a lion’s claw. What will be, will be. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Many hands make light work. Well begun is half done. Let every man praise the bridge he goes over. Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. A full cup must be carried steadily. There’s no place like home. Strike while the iron is hot. Absence is a shrew. A ragged colt may make a good horse. Make not your sail too big for your ballast. Death always comes too early or too late. He laughs best who laughs last. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Big thunder, little rain.''}}

The '''State symbols of [[Norway]]''' are the [[symbol]]s that are used to represent the [[Norwegian people]] or the Finns proper and abroad to [[National symbol|represent the country and its people]].

'''Norway''', officially known as the [[Kingdom of Norway]], is located in the northern section of the [[Scandinavia]]n Peninsula. The country has egalitarian ideals, an excellent welfare system and has ranked first on the [[World Happiness Report]].

Norway has a long, rich history and has been part of [[myth]]s and [[legend]]s that still captivate today (think Norse mythology). Norway’s landscapes are among the most fascinating and majestic in the world, from fjords to [[glacier]]s and [[mountain]]s. For visitors to Norway, the incredible combination of natural and cultural wonders makes the country unforgettable. Norway is represented by many official and unofficial symbols that highlight this rich culture and landscape. Let’s take a look at popular '''Norwegian symbols''' and what they represent.

{{quotation|''The best friends are fewest. Straight ahead is shortest, but not always easiest. Either conform to the customs or flee the country. To be a hero hang on for a minute longer. The less you know, the less you forget. Good fortune is loaned, not owned. Where age gets in, he will never get out again. The lame runs if he has to. The pardon may be more severe than the penalty. Better ten hairs on the head than one in the soup. If you bend the rights, they will break. All weather is passing.''}}
