Famous quotes containing the words beast and/or wars:
“Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god.”

“Did all the lets and bars appear
To every just or larger end,
Whence should come the trust and cheer?

All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
