War Began

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or began:

    One must know that war is common, justice is strife, and everything happens according to strife and necessity.
    Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)

    I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.
    William Cobbett (1762–1835)
