Famous quotes containing the words world, war and/or production:

    “There are times when words seem empty and only actions seem great. Such a time has come, and in the Providence of God America will once more have an opportunity to show the world that she was born to save mankind.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “A nice war is a war where everybody who is heroic is a hero, and everybody more or less is a hero in a nice war. Now this war is not at all a nice war.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
