Nihil sine Deo

Nihil sine Deo , Latin for "Nothing without God " ( German : Nichts ohne Gott ; Romanian : Nimic f?r? Dumnezeu ), is used as a motto of the German Hohenzollern - Sigmaringen royal family and was the motto of both the former Principality of Romania and the former Kingdom of Romania .

History [ edit ]

Nihil sine Deo was introduced as the motto of the Principality of Romania by the King Carol I of Romania in 1866 and was used in the Kingdom of Romania since its establishment in 1881. ^[1] It replaced the first motto of modern Romania, To?i in unu (" One for All "), which had been in use since 1862. ^[2] Romania was a monarchy until 1947, when the People's Republic of Romania was established. ^[3] Today, the motto is displayed in rooms of the Pele? Castle . ^[1]

In 2009, the Royal Decoration of Nihil Sine Deo , named after the motto, was created by the former King of Romania Michael I . ^[4]

Proposed return as the motto of Romania [ edit ]

It has been proposed that Nihil sine Deo should be adopted again as the official motto of Romania . A vote by the Constitution Revision Commission was made in 2013 to decide this. The proposal received 11 votes in favor and 8 votes against it, meaning that it did not get more than the two thirds of the votes necessary for a proposal to get adopted, so it was rejected. ^[5]
