Famous quotes containing the words war and/or organization:

    As a war in years of peace
    Or in war an armistice
    Or a father’s death, just so
    Our parting was not visualized....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.
