Summary

This quote suggests that achieving peace and resolving conflicts goes beyond simple acts of charity or providing basic essentials like food and supplies. It implies that true peace-building requires deeper and more complex efforts. Merely offering material support or economic developments, represented metaphorically by paint brushes and oil pipelines, is insufficient. It implies that genuine peace requires a multi-faceted approach involving understanding, dialogue, empathy, and addressing root causes of conflicts rather than merely addressing symptoms.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
