“war is not so to be avoided, but is only deferred to your disadvantage”
“you ought never to suffer your designs to be crossed in order to avoid war, since war is not so to be avoided, but is only deferred to your disadvantage.”
“Dreams aren't deferred. They don't just get deferred, either. Someone defers them. You defer them. You make a choice and put off something you dream of doing. "A dream deferred" is a copout, an escape from blame.”
“What happens to a dream deferred? / Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?”
“A dream deferred is a dream denied.”
