Summary

This quote implies that while power and force can create significant changes and shape the course of events, they do not determine what is morally just or righteous. It suggests that the actions of those in power may prevail in the context of history, but this does not necessarily mean that their actions are morally acceptable. The quote reminds us that history can be influenced by domination and might, but true justice lies beyond brute strength.
