Famous quotes containing the words day and/or battle:
“The day of small nations has long passed away. The day of Empires has come.”
—Joseph Chamberlain (1836–1914)
“In a time of war the nation is always of one mind, eager to hear something good of themselves and ill of the enemy. At this time the task of news-writers is easy, they have nothing to do but to tell that a battle is expected, and afterwards that a battle has been fought, in which we and our friends, whether conquering or conquered, did all, and our enemies did nothing.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
