Famous quotes containing the words war and/or period:
“Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
