William Wallace

I came home to raise crops, and God willing, a family. If I can live in peace, I will.

— Braveheart • 1995

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker says he came home to farm and, with luck, raise a family. Those modest hopes come with a condition: he'll have them if peace allows. It's a quiet wish for an ordinary life, set against the trouble that may not let him have it.
