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

    “Competition is. In every business, no matter how small or how large, someone is just around the corner forever trying to steal your ideas and build his success out of your imagination, struggling after that which you have toiled endless years to secure, striving to outdo you in each and every way. If such a competitor would work as hard to originate as he does to copy, he would much more quickly gain success.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “In the present civil war it is quite possible that God’s purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
    —Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
