Famous quotes containing the words crazy, horse and/or war:

    “Tell me, how do you cope so calmly
    With crazy youth’s arrogant way?
    Indeed, youth would be insufferable,
    Had I myself not also been insufferable.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “God help the horse, and the driver too!
    And the people and beasts who have never a friend!
    For the driver easily might have been you,
    And the horse be me by a different end!
    And nobody knows how their days will cease!
    And the poor, when they’re old, have little of peace!”
    —James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    “... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
