Famous quotes with Chisels

  • The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
    Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
    Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • The Soldier is a farmer. He knows how to shape the earth. He is a carpenter; he erects ramparts and palisades. A miner, he digs trenches and tunnels; a mason, he chisels a road from a sheer face of stone. The Soldier is a physician who performs surgery without anesthetic, a priest who inters the dead without psalm. He is a philosopher who plumbs the mysteries of existence, a linguist who pronounces "pussy" in a dozen tongues. He is an architect and a demolition man, a fire brigadier and an incendiary. He is a beast who dwells in the dirt, a worm, owning a mouth and an anus and aught but appetite in between.
    Steven Pressfield
