Coriolanus, Act 4, sc. 5, l. 244ff (4.5.244-249) (c. 1608) - Shakespeare, William | WIST Quotations
FIRST SERVINGMAN: Let me have war, say I. It exceeds peace as far as day does night. It's sprightly walking, audible, and full of vent. Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter of more bastard children than war's a destroyer of men.
