Interval Of Time

"Too late I stayed  --  Unheeded flew the hours." - Wm Robert Spencer

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a flying." - Robert Herrick

"A wonderful stream is the river of Time,
With a faultless rhythm, and a musical rhyme." - B.F. Taylor

War

"Give me the money that has been spent in war, and I will purchase every foot of land upon the globe. I will clothe every man, woman and child in an attire of which kings and queens would be proud. I will build a school house on every hillside, and in every valley over the whole earth; I will build an academy in every town, and endow it: a college in every state, and fill it with able professors; I will crown every hill with a place of worship, consecrated to the promulgation of the gospel of peace; I will support in every pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath morning the chime on one hill should answer to the chime on another round the earth's wide circumference; and the voice of prayer, the song of praise, shall ascend like a universal holocaust to heaven." - Henry Richard

War

O war ... begot in pride and luxury,
The child of malice and revengeful hate;
Thou impious good, and good impiety!
Thou art the foul refiner of a state.
- Daniels
