Emerson was dead-on with this quote. He means this: Living by your morals and not giving into temptaion or pressure will bring you the greatest happiness. The best part about this quote is the verse before it... he says "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." That means you are responsible for making sure you live by your own principles. And the exercise of those principles will bring you the greatest happiness in life.

What is the state of Israel willing to give up in order to achieve peace?

Only GOD will bring peace at the end of this age, and nothing man can do will bring this about. All the land they have previously given has only brought more conflict, and weakened Israel. GOD has given them the land, and by giving it away they are in disobedience to HIS will. This will never bring them peace.

In order to maintain peace, nothing can bring discord. Attacks on your homeland can bring discord, unless you can successfully defend the homeland. Preparing for war allows you to defend yourself. Therefore, preparing for war insures no discord from attacks, and thus, insures that peace is maintained.
