We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.

Summary

This quote is asserting that wars occur when one or more parties involved prioritize their desires or objectives over the goal of achieving peace. It suggests that conflicts arise because one side values or desires certain things, such as resources, power, or territory, more than it values maintaining harmonious relations. When the pursuit of these goals becomes more important than resolving differences peacefully, it creates a fertile ground for conflict and war.
