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

    “The British blockade won the war; but the wonder is that the British blockhead did not lose it. I suppose the enemy was no wiser. War is not a sharpener of wits.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime.”
    —Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)

    “Those who dare to interpret God’s will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. War springs from the love and loyalty which should be offered to God being applied to some God substitute, one of the most dangerous being nationalism.”
    —Robert Runcie (b. 1921)
