"Fifty-four forty, or fight."
Author: William Allen
About: War
"I cannot bear it!" said the pewter soldier. "I have shed pewter
tears! It is too melancholy! Rather let me go to the wars and
lose arms and legs! It would at least be a change. I cannot
bear it longer! Now, I know what it is to have a visit from
one's old thoughts, with what they may bring with them! I have
had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant
thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the
drawers."
Author: Hans Christian Andersen
About: War
"Let who will boast their courage in the field,
I find but little safety from my shield,
Nature's, not honour's law we must obey:
This made me cast my useless shield away."
Author: Archilochus
About: War
"And by a prudent flight and cunning save
A life which valour could not, from the grave.
A better buckler I can soon regain,
But who can get another life again?"
Author: Archilochus
About: War
"Instead of breaking that bridge, we should, if possible, provide
another, that he may retire the sooner out of Europe."
Author: Aristides ("The Just")
About: War
"We make war that we may live in peace."
Author: Aristides ("The Just")
About: War
"If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two
sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international
obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting
man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are
fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are
not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the
arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power."
Author: Rt. Hon. Herbert Henry Asquith
About: War
"They shall not pass till the stars be darkened:
Two swords crossed in front of the Hun;
Never a groan but God has harkened,
Counting their cruelties one by one."
Author: Katharine Lee Bates
About: War
"O great corrector of enormous times,
Shaker of o'er-rank states, thou grand decider
Of dusty and old titles, that healest with blood
The earth when it is sick, and curest the world
O' the pleurisy of people."
Author: Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
