Quote by Immanuel Kant
Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind, forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'

Summary
This quote points out the tendency of philosophers to glorify war as a means of human growth and development, disregarding the Greek perspective that war generates greater negative consequences than it resolves. It calls into question the romanticized notion of war and encourages a more critical evaluation of its true impact on society and humanity.
