About This Quote
When President John F. Kennedy said that sometimes, our pride compels us to engage in costly wars when a true commitment to a compromising peace would have been the best course to pursue, he was speaking about how pride is the cause of war. Pride keeps us from making sacrifices and compromises that would be necessary for peace. Pride can cause wars because we think we need to prove our strength or we need to win at all costs.
