Ancient Wars

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or wars:

“I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,”

Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
