Famous quotes containing the words world, wars and/or era:

    “There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
    There are souls that are pure and true;
    Then give to the world the best you have,
    And the best will come back to you.”
    —Madeline Bridges (fl. C. 1840)

    “We have to have wars now and then just to prove we’re top dog.”
    —Reginald Berkeley (1890–1935)

    “It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
