Famous quotes containing the words war and/or years:

    Either war is obsolete or men are.
    R. Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983)

    Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
