Battle Net

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or net:

“In a time of war the nation is always of one mind, eager to hear something good of themselves and ill of the enemy. At this time the task of news-writers is easy, they have nothing to do but to tell that a battle is expected, and afterwards that a battle has been fought, in which we and our friends, whether conquering or conquered, did all, and our enemies did nothing.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“Here’s a fish hangs in the net like a poor man’s right in the law; ‘twill hardly come out.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
