Martial

"But our great security lies, I think, in our growing strength, both in numbers and wealth; ...unless, by a neglect of military discipline, we should lose all martial spirit...; for there is much truth in the Italian saying, Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you."
--Benjamin Franklin,
Letter to Thomas Cushing (1773).
