Quote by Jeannette Rankin

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.


You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.

Summary

This quote highlights the uncontrollable and unpredictable nature of certain events. It suggests that wars, like earthquakes, cannot be "won" in a traditional sense because they are not something one can entirely control or manipulate. Just as it is impossible to overcome or conquer an earthquake's destructive force, it implies that wars involve complex dynamics, multiple actors, and unforeseen consequences, making them inherently difficult to "win" decisively.
