Covered Vietnam War

Famous quotes containing the words covered, vietnam and/or war:

    The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I was proud of the youths who opposed the war in Vietnam because they were my babies.
    Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)

    It takes twenty years or more of peace to make a man; it takes only twenty seconds of war to destroy him.
    Baudouin I (b. 1930)
