Summary

This quote emphasizes the limitations of using violence or force to address moral dilemmas. While weapons may be powerful tools to enforce a solution, they cannot ensure that the outcome will be fair or morally right. It highlights the distinction between a solution that is imposed by force and one that is arrived at through genuine moral reasoning and understanding. Ultimately, the quote reminds us that true justice and morality cannot be achieved solely through the use of weapons, but require deeper reflection and ethical considerations.

I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms.
