Xhosa Wars/fifth War 1818%e2%80%931819

Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or war:

    O how wretched
    Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favours!
    There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
    That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
    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)

    “... War on the destiny of man!
    Doom on the sun!”
    Before death takes you, O take back this.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
