Famous quotes containing the word wars:
“O how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes favours!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have,
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
