"One may know how to gain a victory, and know not how to use it." ― Pedro Calderon de la Barca Topic(s): War More From Pedro Calderon de la Barca "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." "These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly, waking in the dawn of the morning, in the evening will be a pitiful frivolity, sleeping in the cold night’s arms." "For all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams." More In War "I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way."― George McGovern "The security of the United States, which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence, is not a Republican or a Democratic issue."― Saxby Chambliss "One of the good things about the way the Gulf War ended in 1991 is, you’d see the Vietnam veterans marching with the Gulf War veterans."― George H. W. Bush
