Wars Holiday Special

Famous quotes containing the words wars, holiday and/or special:

    O how wretched
    Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!
    There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
    More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
    And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
    Never to hope again.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You will think me very pedantic, gentlemen, but holiday though it may be, I have not the smallest interest in any holiday, except as it celebrates real and not pretended joys.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The great rule: If the little bit you have is nothing special in itself, at least find a way of saying it that is a little bit special.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
