Veterans Peace

Famous quotes containing the words veterans and/or peace:

“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
