汝欲和平,必先備戰
汝欲和平,必先備戰(拉丁語:Si vis pacem, para bellum,古典拉丁語:[siː wiːs ˈpaːkẽː ˈpara ˈbɛllũː])是一句拉丁格言。該格言常指確保人民和平最有效的手段之一始終是做好戰爭的準備。
「汝欲和平,必先備戰」出自拉丁語作者普布利乌斯·弗莱维厄斯·维盖提乌斯·雷纳特斯的《论军事》(公元4世紀或5世紀)第3冊中的陳述"Igitur quī dēsīderat pācem, præparet bellum"[1],雖然它傳達的想法也出現在其他早期的作品中,如柏拉图的《Nomoi》(法律篇)[2][3]。這句話提出了一種反直覺的觀點,即和平條件往往建立在做好必要發動戰爭的準備上。
