Quote by Albert Einstein

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is impossible to both avoid conflict and remain ready for it at the same time. It implies that preparing for war sends a signal of anticipation and potential aggression, which may, in turn, escalate tensions and increase the likelihood of conflict. The quote highlights the inherent contradiction between striving for peace and maintaining a state of military readiness. In essence, the message is that a genuine commitment to peace requires a focus on preventative measures rather than preparing for war.

Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
