War grows out of ordinary human nature.

War grows out of ordinary human nature.

Summary

This quote suggests that war is not some extraordinary event or extraordinary element of human behavior, but rather it is a result of the inherent nature of human beings. It implies that the instincts, desires, and characteristics of human nature, whether it be aggression, competition, or the pursuit of power, are the driving factors that lead to conflicts and warfare. In essence, it asserts that wars are not predetermined or inevitable, but rather a product of our ordinary human nature and the choices we make as individuals and societies.
