White Huns

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or huns:

    When the white man governs himself that is self-government; but when he governs himself, and also governs another man, that is more than self-government—that is despotism.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The American people is out to get the kaiser. We are bending every nerve and every energy towards that end; anybody who gets in the way of the great machine the energy and devotion of a hundred million patriots is building towards the stainless purpose of saving civilization from the Huns will be mashed like a fly. I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
