World War I

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or war:

    And yet I think, if she were gone,
    The world were better left alone.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
    Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
