Famous quotes containing the words war i, world and/or war:

    War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse.... A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice—is often the means of their regeneration.
    John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    Where is the world we roved, Ned Bunn?
    Hollows thereof lay rich in shade
    By voyagers old inviolate thrown
    Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade.
    To us old lads some thoughts come home
    Who roamed a world young lads no more shall roam.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Germany has reduced savagery to a science, and this great war for the victorious peace of justice must go on until the German cancer is cut clean out of the world body.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
