Famous quotes containing the words bids and/or conference:
“What comfort have we now?
By heaven, I’ll hate him everlastingly
That bids me be of comfort any more.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
