Famous quotes containing the words war and/or advance:
“If I had my way, this war would never have been commenced. If I had been allowed my way this war would have been ended before this.”

“Go, and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil’s foot,
Teach me to her mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
