Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

Summary

This quote by Isaac Asimov suggests that resorting to violence is a sign of a person's inability, or incompetence, to handle a situation intelligently, diplomatically, or peacefully. Instead of finding alternative solutions or resolving conflicts through dialogue and understanding, those who turn to violence tend to rely on brute force as a last resort due to their lack of skill or ability to find a more effective resolution. Asimov emphasizes that true competence lies in the ability to navigate difficulties with wisdom and strategic thinking rather than resorting to aggression.
