Famous quotes containing the word wars:
“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“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)
