Famous quotes containing the words air and/or forces:
“The air of one’s native country is the most healthy air.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The next thing his Lordship does, after clearing of the coast, is the dividing of his forces, as he calls them, into two squadrons, one of places of Scriptures, the other of reasons....
All that I have to say touching this, is that I observe a great part of those his forces do look and march another way, and some of them fight amongst themselves.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
