⊙ Quote of the Day: Prepare for Peace by Preparing for War

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum. 

If You Want Peace, Prepare For War.

[ Winston Scott in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) ]

The Latin maxim "Si vis pacem, para bellum" translates to "If You Want Peace, Prepare For War." It is believed to have originated in the 4th century from the Roman military author Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus' book De Re Militari. This maxim emphasizes the importance of military power in maintaining peace. It means that if a country is well prepared for war, it is less likely to be attacked, as potential aggressors will be deterred by the prospect of a costly conflict. The film John Wick reflects this as the protagonist, John Wick, prepares for battle to defend himself.

I was very sad to see the John Wick series end last year in 2023, but there is a spin-off film, Ballerina, coming out in 2023. Set between the third and fourth John Wick films, the movie will star Ana de Armas (of 007: No Time to Die fame) as Ballerina Rooney. We're excited to see what kind of action the John Wick franchise will bring this time around.
