Famous quotes containing the words war and/or service:
““... War on the destiny of man!
Doom on the sun!”
Before death takes you, O take back this.”

‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
