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)

    War contains so much folly, as well as wickedness, that much is to be hoped from the progress of reason.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    This world is not for aye, nor ‘tis not strange
    That even our loves should with our fortunes change.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Armageddon. The slaughter of humanity. An atomic war no one wanted, but which no one had the wisdom to avoid.
    Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
