Quote by Hannah Arendt

War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.

War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.

Summary

This quote suggests that larger nations have become powerful and developed enough to avoid engaging in wars. Instead, they have the capability to resolve conflicts through diplomacy or economic means. In contrast, smaller nations, lacking the resources and influence, may still resort to warfare as they do not possess the luxury of choosing alternative approaches. It highlights an evolving global dynamic where power and wealth have allowed some nations to outgrow the necessity of resorting to armed conflict.

If there is a country in the world where concord, according to common calculation, would be least expected, it is America. Made up as it is of people from different nations, accustomed to different forms and habits of government, speaking different languages, and more different in their modes of worship, it would appear that the union of such a people was impracticable; but by the simple operation of constructing government on the principles of society and the rights of man, every difficulty retires, and all the parts are brought into cordial unison. There the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged. Industry is not mortified by the splendid extravagance of a court rioting at its expense. Their taxes are few, because their government is just: and as there is nothing to render them wretched, there is nothing to engender riots and tumults.
