"One to destroy, is murder by the law;
And gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe;
To murder thousands, takes a specious name,
War's glorious art, and gives immortal fame."
Edward Young (1683-1765)
"If, therefore, war should ever come between these two countries (Great Britain and Germany), which Heaven forbid! it will not, I think, be due to irresistable natural laws. It will be due to the want of human wisdom."
Bonar Law (1858-1923)
"War to the knife."
Jose de Palafox (1780-1847)
"My hoarse-sounding horn
Invites thee to the chase, the sport of kings;
Image of war, without its guilt."
William Somerville (1675-1742)
"We wage no war with women nor with priests."
Robert Southey (1774-1843)
"We've a war, an' a debt, an' a flag; an' ef this Ain't to be independunt, why, wut on airth is?"
James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
