Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    “The world is a republic of mediocrities, and always was.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    “There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
