The much-hyped Ares 1-X was much ado about nothing.

Nothing has more strength than dire necessity.

Today, war of necessity is used by critics of military action to describe unavoidable response to an attack like that on Pearl Harbor that led to our prompt, official declaration of war, while they characterize as unwise wars of choice the wars in Korea, Vietnam and the current war in Iraq.

Necessity makes even the timid brave.

Necessity is laid upon us. We must fight. There are no promises in the Lord Jesus Christ's epistles to the seven churches, except to those who 'overcome.' Where there is grace, there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without a warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight.

Necessity is the strongest of things, for it rules everything.

Armaments are necessary - or are maintained on the pretext of necessity - because of a real or an imagined danger of war.

The first and most imperative necessity in war is money, for money means everything else - men, guns, ammunition.

Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.
