Famous quotes containing the word points:
“There are good points about all such wars. People forget self. The virtues of magnanimity, courage, patriotism, etc., etc., are called into life. People are more generous, more sympathetic, better, than when engaged in the more selfish pursuits of peace.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
