Famous quotes containing the words evitable and/or conflict:
“Still we live meanly, like ants; though the fable tells us that we were long ago changed into men; like pygmies we fight with cranes; it is error upon error, and clout upon clout, and our best virtue has for its occasion a superfluous and evitable wretchedness. Our life is frittered away by detail.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
