Famous quotes containing the words war i and/or war:
“War is no strife
To the dark house and the detested wife.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be Unjust. The notions of Right and Wrong, Justice and Injustice have there no place. Where there is no common Power, there is no Law; where no Law, no Injustice. Force, and Fraud, are in war the two Cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
