“The justest dispositions possible in ourselves will not secure us against [war].

It would be necessary that all other nations were just also. Justice indeed on our part

will save us from those wars which would have been produced by a contrary

disposition. But how to prevent those produced by the wrongs of other nations?

By putting ourselves in a condition to punish them. Weakness provokes insult and

injury, while a condition to punish it often prevents it.”

Thomas Jefferson

from THE PAPERS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, Letter to John Jay, August 23, 1785
