Famous quotes containing the words war i, world and/or war:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than to find fault.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
