Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or suit:
“... there was the first Balkan war and the second Balkan war and then there was the first world war. It is extraordinary how having done a thing once you have to do it again, there is the pleasure of coincidence and there is the pleasure of repetition, and so there is the second world war, and in between there was the Abyssinian war and the Spanish civil war.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“O thou, whatever title suit thee!
Auld Hornie, Satan, Nick, or Clootie,”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
