Summary

This quote suggests that achieving peace by compromising one's principles is not a sustainable or lasting accomplishment. While compromise may temporarily resolve conflicts and bring temporary peace, it implies a deviation from one's deeply-held values or beliefs. As a result, the peace achieved in this manner is fragile and likely to be short-lived. It highlights the importance of staying true to one's principles and finding ways to resolve conflicts that are consistent with those principles, for a more lasting and meaningful peace.
