The State symbols of Norway are the symbols that are used to represent the Norwegian people or the Finns proper and abroad to represent the country and its people.
Norway, officially known as the Kingdom of Norway, is located in the northern section of the Scandinavian 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 myths and legends that still captivate today (think Norse mythology). Norway’s landscapes are among the most fascinating and majestic in the world, from fjords to glaciers and mountains. 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.
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.
