Famous quotes containing the words war and/or general:
“Our lives laid down in war and peace may not
Be found acceptable in Heavens sight.
And that they may be is the only prayer
Worth praying. May my sacrifice
Be found acceptable in Heavens sight.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heavn:
Nor faild they to express how much they praisd,
That for the general safety he despisd
His own: for neither do the Spirits damnd
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht oer with zeal.”
—John Milton (16081674)
