What do those quotes mean? how are they related??

Answer 1

Explaining the second quote first:

Clausewitz fully understood the seriousness of war and that the business of war is to disarm your enemy by destroying its military forces. Therefore, if a country and its leaders think they can simultaneously do good will make some of the worst mistakes possible.

In other words, war is war.

First quote:  This can be taken many ways, but in regards to war: If you go to war for the wrong reasons, you will die.
