- Friedrich Schiller

About this Quote

This quote by Friedrich Schiller talks to the power of reconciliation. It suggests that when an opponent is merely defeated, they may have the ability to rise once again and continue the conflict. However, when an enemy is fixed up, they are truly beat. This means that the dispute is dealt with and the enemy is no longer a hazard. Reconciliation is a powerful tool for ending conflict and restoring peace. It is a way of transforming an opponent into an ally, and of producing an enduring peace. By fixing up with an enemy, we can genuinely overcome them and end the dispute. This quote acts as a tip of the power of reconciliation and its ability to bring long lasting peace.
