What does this quote by roger williams mean?

[and thats the truth]

"All men of conscience or prudence ply to windward, to maintain their wars to be defensive."

 

[Kazim]

All people who are intelligent do not go to war to subjugate or conquer other peoples or races but only engage in wars to defend themselves or their country.
