Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I tell you: it is the good war that hallows every cause.
Summary
This quote challenges the notion that a cause in and of itself is innately righteous. Instead, it suggests that it is the war fought for a just cause that brings value and sanctifies the underlying purpose. In other words, implying that the moral legitimacy of a cause is determined by the war waged for that cause. It prompts us to question the foundation of our beliefs and examine whether the means employed to achieve a cause align with its inherent goodness.
