Wars of The Diadochi/the Struggle of Lysimachus and Seleucus 285-281 BC

Famous quotes containing the words wars and/or struggle:

    It took nine years, and a great depression, and two wars ending in defeat, and one surrender without war, to break my faith in the benign power of the press.

    Martha Gellhorn (b. 1908)

    Therefore I summon age
    To grant youth’s heritage,
    Life’s struggle having so far reached its term:
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
