HAPPY HALF-HOURS Quotes

“Consider the last war.
Austria (to Servia): Stop it, or I'll make you.
Russia (to Austria): Stop it, or I'll make you.
Germany (to Russia): Stop it, or I'll make you.
France (to Germany): Stop it, or I'll make you.
Germany (to France): Stop saying stop it, or I'll make you.
England (to Germany): Stop it, or I'll make you.
This reads like something from a comic opera, but it is exactly what happened.”
― A.A. Milne, HAPPY HALF-HOURS: Selected Writings of A. A. Milne
