Английская Википедия:Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title
Шаблон:Lang is a Latin passage and the official motto of the U.S. Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The phrase is often loosely translated into English as "By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty." The literal translation, however, is "she seeks with the sword peaceful repose under liberty." The "she" in question refers to the word manus from the full phrase Шаблон:Lang, which means "this hand, an enemy to tyrants, seeks with the sword peaceful repose under liberty."
It was written Шаблон:Circa by the English soldier-statesman Algernon Sidney, who was an opponent of Charles II and who was later executed for treason. The motto was first adopted in 1775 by the Massachusetts General Court (the official name of the state legislature) and applied to the temporary seal of Massachusetts. On December 13, 1780, the legislature approved its application to the current Great Seal of Massachusetts.
