Famous quotes containing the words years and/or war:
“He is not very tall—yet for his years he’s tall.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.”
—George Washington (1732–1799)
