It is always easy to begin a war, but very difficult to stop one.

It is always easy to begin a war, but very difficult to stop one.

Sallust
War, Easy, Difficult
Sallust, John Carew Rolfe (1931). “Sallust”, Loeb Classical Library

It is always easy enough to take up arms, but very difficult to lay them down; the commencement and the termination of war are notnecessarily in the same hands; even a coward may begin, but the end comes only when the victors are willing.

Sallust
War, Hands, May

But at power or wealth, for the sake of which wars, and all kinds of strife, arise among mankind, we do not aim; we desire only our liberty, which no honorable man relinquishes but with his life.

Sallust
War, Men, Honorable Man
