It is the weak man who urges compromise -- never the strong

Summary

This quote suggests that compromise is often seen as a sign of weakness rather than strength. The weak individual, eager to avoid conflict or confrontation, readily advocates for making concessions. However, the strong person, confident in their abilities and convictions, may view compromise as a submissive act that compromises their position. This quote implies that the strong are less inclined to compromise, as they believe it could undermine their power or compromise their principles.
