Genesis War

Famous quotes containing the words genesis and/or war:

    “Power is, in nature, the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself. The genesis and maturation of a planet, its poise and orbit, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every animal and vegetable, are demonstrations of the self-sufficing and therefore self-relying soul.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)
