Wars Republic Commando

Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or republic:

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press. Gradually I came to realize that people will more readily swallow lies than truth, as if the taste of lies was homey, appetizing: a habit.
    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
