Nellie L. McClung
War is the antithesis of all our teaching. It breaks all the commandments it makes rich men poor, and strong men weak. It makes well men sick, and by it living men are changed to dead men.
Nellie L. McClung
The horse on the treadmill may be very discontented, but he is not disposed to tell his troubles, for he cannot stop to talk.
