Chetniks/world War II

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “The world rolls round,—mistrust it not,—
    Befalls again what once befell;
    All things return, both sphere and mote,
    And I shall hear my bluebird’s note,
    And dream the dream of Auburn dell.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
