Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:
“A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I certainly know that if the war fails, the administration fails, and that I will be blamed for it, whether I deserve it or not. And I ought to be blamed, if I could do better. You think I could do better; therefore you blame me already. I think I could not do better; therefore I blame you for blaming me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
