Summary

This quote highlights the inherent conflict between the skills required to win a war and those needed to achieve a successful peace agreement. It suggests that those who excel at military strategy and creating mayhem in warfare may lack the diplomacy and negotiation skills necessary to establish a stable and harmonious post-war environment. On the other hand, individuals who possess the ability to create a peaceful resolution would not have the aggressive nature required to conquer in warfare. Thus, the quote implies that the qualities needed to win a war and those needed to make a good peace are often mutually exclusive.
