War Begins

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or begins:

    They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
    Bible: Hebrew Isaiah, 2:4.

    The words reappear in Micah 4:3, and the reverse injunction is made in Joel 3:10 (”Beat your plowshares into swords ...”)

    Once the pursuit of truth begins to haunt the mind, it becomes an ideal never wholly attained.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
