Famous quotes containing the words war and/or chief:

    “There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “But chief to heedless flies the window proves
    A constant death; where gloomily retired,
    The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
    Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
    Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
    O’erlooking all his waving snares around.”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)
