Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.
    Kenneth Branagh (b. 1960)

    The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
