Quote by George Herbert

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

War makes thieves and peace hangs them.

Summary

This quote signifies the transformative power of war and peace on society. During times of war, desperation and chaos often prevail, leading some individuals to resort to thievery in their pursuit for survival. However, when peace is eventually restored, order is reestablished, and those who engaged in criminal activities are held accountable for their actions. Accordingly, the quote suggests that war creates the conditions that nurture criminal behavior, while peace allows for justice to prevail and criminals to be appropriately punished.
