Famous quotes containing the words post, world and/or wars:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart.”
—Yasir Arafat (b. 1929)
“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
