Kin Strife

Famous quotes containing the words kin and/or strife:

    “For little boys are rancorous
    When robbed of any myth,
    And spiteful and cantankerous
    To all their kin and kith.
    But little girls can draw conclusions
    And profit from their lost illusions.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    “The example of America must be the example, not merely of peace because it will not fight, but of peace because it is the healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
