Famous quotes containing the words conflict and/or testament:

    The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way.... In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.
    James Reston (b. 1909)

    For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
    —Bible: New Testament Matthew 25:29.
