Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or wars:

    “The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “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)
