Famous quotes containing the word war:
“How many people in the United States do you think will be willing to go to war to free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania?”

“Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.”
