Army Field Manual

Famous quotes containing the words army, field and/or manual:

“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“But the old world was restored and we returned
To the dreary field and workshop, and the immemorial feud

Of rich and poor. Our victory was our defeat.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
