An unjust peace is better than a just war.

For to me every sort of peace with the citizens seemed to be of more service than civil war. [Lat., Mihi enim omnis pax cum civibus bello civili utilior videbatur.]

War leads to peace. [Lat., Cedant arma togae.]

Laws are inoperative in war

Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.

The sinews of war are infinite money.
