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

    “My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    “all must die.

    Only a sweet and virtuous soul,
    Like seasoned timber, never gives;
    But though the whole world turn to coal,
    Then chiefly lives.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “War ...
    What is it good for?
    Absolutely nothing.”
    —Edwin Starr, U.S. soul singer. War (song)
