Famous quotes containing the words world, war and/or summary:

    The world is filled with folly and sin,
    And Love must cling where it can, I say:
    For Beauty is easy enough to win;
    But one isn’t loved every day.
    “Owen” “Meredith” (1831–1891)

    The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
    The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
    The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
    I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
    Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
    Its echo in my heart.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
