Today’s quote: “Si vis pacem, para bellum.”
If you want peace, prepare for war.
The phrase “Si vis pacem, para bellum” is adapted from a statement found in Roman author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus’s tract Dē Rē Mīlitārī, in which the actual phrasing is “Igitur quī dēsīderat pācem, præparet bellum” (“Therefore let him who desires peace prepare for war”).
The phrase presents the insight that the conditions of peace are often preserved by a readiness to make war when necessary.
