About Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (June 24, 1842 – date of death uncertain; probably late 1912 or early 1914) was an American satirist, critic, short story writer, editor and journalist. He is perhaps most famous for his serialized mock lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary, in which, over the years, he scathed American culture and accepted wisdom by pointing out alternate, more practical definitions for common words.

Additional quotes by Ambrose Bierce

En tiempo de paz prepara la guerra” tiene un significado más profundo de lo que parece; quiere decir, no sólo que todas las cosas terrestres tienen un fin, que el cambio es la única ley inmutable y eterna, sino que el terreno de la paz está sembrado con las semillas de la guerra y favorece su germinación y crecimiento.
