Famous quotes containing the words post, world and/or wars:

    Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
    The mist in my face,
    When the snows begin, and the blasts denote

    The power of the night, the press of the storm,

    Yet the strong man must go:
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
    Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)

    We have to have wars now and then just to prove we’re top dog.
    Reginald Berkeley (1890–1935)
