Hundred Years War/second Peace - 1389%e2%80%931415

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

    So here I am, in the middle way, having had twenty years
    Twenty years largely wasted, the years of l’entre deux guerres—
    Trying to learn to use words, and every attempt
    Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    We make war that we may live in peace.
    Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

    Although I could lament in the language and feelings of David for Absalom, I am constrained to say, peace to his manes. Let us weep for the living, and not for the dead.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
