Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or war:

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.
    Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
