Famous quotes containing the words years, war and/or peace:
“All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the other’s,
We were so much at one.”

“But, after the war was over, just think what came to pass—
A letter, sir; and the two were safe back in the old Bluegrass.
The lad had got across the border, riding Kentucky Belle;
And Kentuck she was thriving, and fat, and hearty, and well;
He cared for her, and kept her, nor touched her with whip or spur:
Ah! we’ve had many horses, but never a horse like her!”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
“‘Ye are brothers! ye are men!
And we conquer but to save:—
So peace instead of death let us bring:”
