Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem (Latin "By the sword it seeks peace [but only] under liberty") is a state motto of Massachusetts in the United States, adopted in 1775. It has not been specifically adopted as the motto of the state but has been accepted as an element of the arms and seal of the Commonwealth.
Can you believe this stuff??? Never would have thought the ultimate Nanny state would have this motto. . . too bad it means nothing to those running the place today or I should say to them it means they will have peace through use of the sword to keep the peasants under control. . . .
I wonder if we will ever get back to a time and place where this motto means something. . .
