War Crimes

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or crimes:

    The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
    The glittering spears are ranked ready;
    The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
    The battle closes thick and bloody;
    But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
    Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
    Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
    Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Heaven absolves all crimes committed to gain a throne once Heaven gives it to us.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
