Famous quotes containing the words war ii, positions, world and/or war:

    Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920’s and 1930’s when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother’s keeper.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist?
    Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    We have always said that in our war with the Arabs we had a secret weapon—no alternative.
    Golda Meir (1898–1978)
