Famous quotes containing the words black and/or army:

    Ladies and gents. The time has passed. The time has passed. Got to be a better way. I say to you, can’t any longer, oh no, can’t any longer, play off black against old, young against poor.
    This country cannot house its houseless. Feed its foodless. They’re demanding a government of the people. Peopled by people. Our faith. Our compassion. Our courage on the gridiron. The basic
    indifference that made this country great.
    Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter, and Michael Ritchie. Bill McKay (Robert Redford)

    An army is maintained for a thousand days all to be used on one morning.
    Chinese proverb.
