It is far easier to make war than to make peace.

Summary

This quote means that starting or engaging in a war requires less effort, coordination, and planning compared to achieving and maintaining peace. The act of preparing for war is often driven by conflict, aggression, and self-interest, while the process of making peace involves negotiation, compromise, understanding, and empathy, which tend to be more exhaustive and convoluted. It highlights the notion that war can quickly erupt, while fostering sustainable peace takes substantial time, resources, and unwavering commitment from all parties involved.
