History of Aviation/progress Before World War I 1914%e2%80%931918

Famous quotes containing the words history, progress, world and/or war:

    The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    War was return of earth to ugly earth,
    War was foundering of sublimities,
    Extinction of each happy art and faith
    By which the world had still kept head in air.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    Fiddle-dee-dee! War, war, war. This war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream. Besides, there isn’t going to be any war.
    Sidney Howard (1891–1939)
