Civil Wars

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or wars:

“Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.”

“O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes’ favors!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have;
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
