Violence/war

Famous quotes containing the words violence and/or war:

    The violence of love is as much to be dreaded as that of hate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    No more shall the war cry sever,
    Or the winding rivers be red:
    They banish our anger forever
    When they laurel the graves of our dead!
    Under the sod and the dew,
    Waiting the Judgment Day:—
    Love and tears for the Blue;
    Tears and love for the Gray.
    Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)
