Famous quotes containing the word wars:

    “O how wretched
    Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favours!
    There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
    That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
    More pangs and fears than wars or women have,
    And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
    Never to hope again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “We have to have wars now and then just to prove we’re top dog.”
    —Reginald Berkeley (1890–1935)
