HeraclitusOne must realize that war is common, and justice strife, and that all things come to be through strife and are (so) ordained.
About This Quote
In the words of Cato the Elder, “One must realize that war is common, and justice strife, and that all things come to be through strife and are (so) ordained." This saying is a reference to the two distinct but equally important concepts of conflict and cooperation. We may never completely understand why we find ourselves involved in conflict, but we can learn how to use this as an opportunity for growth.
