Civil Wars

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or wars:

“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”
