Here’s a powerful strife-related quote from each:

Heraclitus:

“War is the father of all things.”

(Original: Πόλεμος πάντων μὲν πατήρ ἐστι…) — He saw strife and conflict as the engine of creation and transformation, not merely destruction.

Publilius Syrus:

“Where there is unity, there is always victory; where there is strife, ruin is near.”

(Original: Ubi concordia, ibi semper victoria; ubi rixa, ibi prope ruinam.) — A more cautionary take, showing strife as a path to collapse.

Heraclitus embraces conflict as necessary for growth and change, while Publilius Syrus warns of its dangers.

Would you like me to help contextualize how these views could apply to modern leadership or personal challenges?
