Famous quotes containing the word fight:
“Don’t spend your time in drilling soldiers, who may turn out hirelings after all, but give to undrilled peasantry a country to fight for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“And everybody praised the Duke
Who such a fight did win.—
But what good came of it at last?
Quoth little Peterkin.—
Why that I cannot tell, said he,
But ‘twas a famous victory.”
—Robert Southey (1774–1843)
