Civil Defence

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or defence:

“The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the most tragic feature of a civil war or any other sort of war.”

“Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
