As we send our armsmen and sailors away to fight and die together; let there be peace between us. If there cannot be peace in the world, at least let it be welcome here.

About This Quote

This quote by William Shakespeare is about the beauty of peace between people. When the American colonies were fighting the British, many Americans went to war, while some stayed home. The ones that went to war fought for freedom, while those that stayed home did so because they did not want to fight. The quote is saying that although both sides fought for similar reasons, there was still a deep-seated hatred between Americans. Shakespeare's hope was that even though both sides were fighting for their own ideals, he wanted to see them all come together and make peace.
