It is madness for sheep to talk peace with a wolf.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is foolish for weak or vulnerable individuals to seek harmony and peaceful negotiations with those who pose a threat or hold malicious intentions. Just as it would be nonsensical for sheep, a prey animal, to engage in dialogue with a predator like a wolf, so too is it impractical for individuals or groups to seek peace with those who would potentially harm or exploit them. It emphasizes the necessity of recognizing power imbalances and exercising caution in interactions with potentially dangerous individuals or entities.
