P2. Proverb. (he) who wills the end, wills the means and variants: a person who wishes to achieve a desired goal must find or be prepared to use the means necessary to achieve it.Not common in North American use. [Compare post-classical Latin qui vult finem, vult etiam media (1586 or earlier), and earlier formulations, such as qui vult finem, videtur velle quae ad finem faciunt ‘he who wills the end, seems to will those things which make the end’ (1576). The idea goes back to at least the 13th cent.: Thomas Aquinas (a1274) in his Summa Theologiae (1-2 q. 8) says, Ergo, si voluntas est finis, ipsa etiam est eorum quae sunt ad finem ‘therefore, if the will is the end, it is also of those things which lead to the end’. Corresponding phrases are also found in French; compare e.g. qui veut la fin, veut aussi les moyens necessaires & ordonnez à icelle ‘he who wills the end, wills also the means necessary and ordained for it’ (1596), Qui veut la fin, veut aussi les moyens qui meinent à la fin ‘he who wills the end, wills also the means that lead to the end’ (1618).]
