Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“This world is a place of business. What an infinite bustle! I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no sabbath. It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
