Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or war:
“O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.”
