Quote by Croesus

In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.

In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers

Summary

This quote highlights the tragic reality of war. During times of peace, it is customary for children to bury their parents when they pass away. However, in times of war, the natural order is disrupted, and the horrifying truth emerges that parents are often left mourning the loss of their own children. It serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact and the unbearable pain experienced by families caught in the ravages of war.
