Famous quotes containing the word july:

    “All the experts here ... say “There will be no war.” They said the same thing all through July 1914.... In those days I believed the experts. Today I have my tongue in my cheek. This does not mean I am become cynical; but as President I have to be ready just like a Fire Department!”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
