War is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to the military. Georges Clemenceau (1841 - 1929) War is a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955) Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city. George Burns (1896 - 1996) Being friendless taught me how to be a friend. Funny how that works. Colleen Wainwright,
