Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    Desiccation of the world of sense,
    Evacuation of the world of fancy,
    Inoperancy of the world of spirit;
    This is the one way, and the other
    Is the same, not in movement
    But abstention from movement;
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Borrowers are nearly always ill-spenders, and it is with lent money that all evil is mainly done and all unjust war protracted.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)
