Armed Conflicts

Famous quotes containing the words armed and/or conflicts:

    “it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
    The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
    When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.

    And it pleaseth me when the scouts set in flight the folk with
    their goods;
    And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
    armed men.”
    —Bertrans De Born (fl. 12th century)

    “The more parents intervene, the more siblings fight. And the bigger role parents assume in settling arguments, the less chance siblings have to learn how to resolve conflicts for themselves.”
    —Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
