Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
    The glittering spears are ranked ready;
    The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
    The battle closes thick and bloody;
    But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
    Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
    Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
    Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
