War Horse

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or horse:

“... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

“Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
