Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or war:
“There are those who say to you—we are rushing this issue of civil rights. I say we are 172 years late.”

“No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day:—
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray.”
—Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
