Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or war:

Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!

More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”

“Those wars are unjust which are undertaken without provocation. For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just.”
