Famous quotes containing the words post, world and/or war:

    “I can forgive even that wrong of wrongs,
    Those undreamt accidents that have made me
    Seeing that Fame has perished this long while,
    Being but a part of ancient ceremony
    Notorious, till all my priceless things
    Are but a post the passing dogs defile.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I will use the world and sift it,
    To a thousand humors shift it,
    As you spin a cherry.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “But, after the war was over, just think what came to pass—
    A letter, sir; and the two were safe back in the old Bluegrass.
    The lad had got across the border, riding Kentucky Belle;
    And Kentuck she was thriving, and fat, and hearty, and well;
    He cared for her, and kept her, nor touched her with whip or spur:
    Ah! we’ve had many horses, but never a horse like her!”
    —Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)
