Famous quotes containing the words early and/or battleships:

    “The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “By and by when each nation has 20,000 battleships and 5,000,000 soldiers we shall all be safe and the wisdom of statesmanship will stand confirmed.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
