Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    I have made a short excursion into the new world which the Indian dwells in, or is. He begins where we leave off.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Not marble nor the gilded monuments
    Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
    But you shall shine more bright in these contents
    Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
    When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
    And broils root out the work of masonry,
    Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
    The living record of your memory.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
