Massachusetts State Motto"Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem"This rather long Massachusetts state motto is Latin and translated into English, it reads: "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty". Algernon Sidney's work "Discourses Concerning Government" 1698 seemingly influenced political thinking at the time and was a source of inspiration to some American colonies. And the Massachusetts state motto is proof that even though the phrase is old the message is still considered important. The Massachusetts state motto was adopted in 1885.
