Famous quotes containing the words division and/or fought:
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I sing what was lost and dread what was won,
I walk in a battle fought over again,
My king a lost king, and lost soldiers my men....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
