Famous quotes containing the words war and/or destroys:
“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
“Dress is at all times a frivolous distinction, and excessive solicitude about it often destroys its own aim.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
