Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or wars:
“Deep-seated are the wounds of civil brawls.”
—Marcus Annaeus Lucan (39–65)
“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

Age finds place in the rear.
All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
