Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or welch:

    A man’s idea in a card game is war—cruel, devastating and pitiless. A lady’s idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)

    He promised
    that life would go on as usual,
    that treaties would be signed, and everyone—
    man, woman and child—would be inoculate
    against a world in which we had no part,
    a world of money, promise and disease.
    —James Welch (b. 1940)
