Only the dead have seen the end of the war.

Summary

This quote, attributed to the Greek philosopher Plato, suggests that war is an ongoing and perennial aspect of human history. The phrase "the dead" symbolizes all those who have perished in wars, implying that the cycle of conflict continues endlessly and does not truly come to an end. In this concise statement, Plato captures the idea that wars, with all their devastation and loss of life, persist and are an inescapable reality for humanity.
