Napoleonic Wars/war of The Fourth Coalition 1806-1807

Famous quotes containing the words wars, war and/or fourth:

    We have to have wars now and then just to prove we’re top dog.
    Reginald Berkeley (1890–1935)

    The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.
    Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)

    The fourth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Four colly birds,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 13–15)
