Famous quotes containing the words war and/or service:

    “If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You had to face your ends when young
    ‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
    But never made a poorer song
    That you might have a heavier purse,
    Nor gave loud service to a cause
    That you might have a troop of friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
