Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “I have lived in both worlds. And I think I prefer, to the indifferent, haphazard, money- mad hurry of the Outside World, that of my world; that sympathy and understanding grown shadowy since I have been away from it so long, still is more real to me than the world I am in now. Not only the spangles and the gay trappings made it colorful; there was an inner color that warmed the soul. And that I miss.”
    —Josephine Demott Robinson (1865–1948)

    “Once lead this people into war and they will forget there ever was such a thing as tolerance.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
