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

    To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a “home” might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
    —Emily Post (1873–1960)

    I am a little world made cunningly
    Of elements, and an angelic sprite;
    But black sin hath betrayed to endless night
    My world’s both parts, and Oh! both parts must die.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    O how wretched
    Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!
    There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
    More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
    And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
    Never to hope again.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
