Kandyan Wars/the Third War 1817-1818

Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or war:

    Now his wars on God begin;
    At stroke of midnight God shall win.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
