Anna Komnene (Princess of the Byzantine Empire, c. 1083-1153)
"It is the mark of a bad general, when all is peaceful, to incite his neighbors to war intentionally--for peace is the objective of all wars."
- From The Alexiad (Book XII) by Anna Komnene, translated by E.R.A. Sewter, (Penguin Classics, 2009).
