No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace, or ensure it of victory in time of war.

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

An unjust peace is better than a just war.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
