Famous quotes containing the words war and/or independence:

    “... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
    —Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    “The independence of all political and other bother is a happiness.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
