The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives

Summary

This quote suggests that while victory may seem to favor one side, peace benefits both sides involved in a conflict. Though the god of Victory is portrayed as having one hand, symbolizing an unbalanced outcome, peace creates a situation where both parties can find success and fulfillment. It implies that seeking peace and resolving conflicts through diplomatic means can lead to mutually advantageous outcomes, contrasting the idea that winning at all costs is the only path to victory.
