Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or empire:

“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)

“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
