Be Prepared for Peace
Forewarned, fprearmed; to be prepared is half the vic
tory, or so says the old Spanish proverb. George
Washington also believed that peace could be insured
by being prepared for war. It hasn’t always worked, but
as a nation, we remain committed to the idea. Even our
Boy Scouts chant the motto. Ambrose Bierce (1842-
1914?), on tt\e more pessimistic side, defined “peace”
this way: “In international affairs, a period of cheating
between two periods of fighf ' ” N' n olf
Bonaparte (1769-1821) saw it
“What a beautiful fix we are
peace has been declared.”
The better part of valor
is discretion.
A lew leaves of green wormwood will ward oft ants, as
will camphor.
