Famous quotes containing the word battle:

    “No battle is worth fighting except the last one.”
    —J. Enoch Powell (b. 1912)

    “No slogan of democracy; no battle cry of freedom is more striving then the American parent’s simple statement which all of you have heard many times: ‘I want my child to go to college.’”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “Much have I seen and known—cities of men
    And manners, climates, councils, governments,
    Myself not least, but honored of them all—
    And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
    Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
    I am a part of all that I have met;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
