Wendell Fertig/world War II

Famous quotes containing the words wendell, world and/or war:

    Year after year beheld the silent toil
    That spread his lustrous coil;
    Still as the spiral grew,
    He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
    Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
    Built up its idle door,
    Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    The supply of words in the world market is plentiful but the demand is falling. Let deeds follow words now.
    Lech Walesa (b. 1943)

    That is what war is and dancing it is forward and back, when one is out walking one wants not to go back the way they came but in dancing and in war it is forward and back.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
