Eighty Years War/the Peace of M%c3%bcnster

Famous quotes containing the words years, war and/or peace:

    It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Viewed as a drama, the war is somewhat disappointing.
    —D.W. (David Wark)

    As we meet here at Camp David we ask people of all faiths to pray with us that peace and justice may result from these deliberations.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
