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

    “Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? How did it exist?”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
