"Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves"

- William Hazlitt

About this Quote

This quote by William Hazlitt speaks with the concept that those who remain in dispute with others are not in a state of inner peace. It recommends that when we remain in conflict with others, we are likewise in dispute with ourselves. This might be due to the fact that we are not able to reconcile our own beliefs and worths with those of the people we remain in conflict with. It could also be since we are unable to accept the truth that we remain in conflict with somebody else. Whatever the reason, this quote suggests that when we remain in conflict with others, we are not in a state of inner peace. This can cause feelings of tension, stress and anxiety, and even anxiety. Eventually, this quote functions as a pointer that peace starts within ourselves and that we must aim to find inner peace before we can discover peace with others.
