You always have great information!

I’ve got the Clausewitz book on my to-read pile; it’s seventh.

Is the last quote from Tacitus?

The dictum was put forward by Pliny, Caesar, and Tacitus.
Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. Let him who wishes for peace prepare for war. (Vegetius. Also quoted si vis pacem, para bellum.)

What you may be referring to are my own embellishments, which were very likely obtained from a variety of sources.
If you doubt this or lack the power to accept it, or it offends your idea of the way things "ought" to be, even for a moment, you do not even deserve freedom and you are not worthy of peace.
