Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

An unjust peace is better than a just war.

Summary

This quote suggests that even though peace may not always be perfect or just, it is still preferable to engaging in a war that is supposedly just. It implies that the consequences of war and the inherent violence and destruction that accompany it cannot outweigh any perceived notion of achieving justice. Therefore, the quote advocates for finding alternatives to war, even if the resulting peace may not meet all the requirements of fairness and justice.
