Famous quotes containing the word general:

    “Pleasure is necessarily reciprocal; no one feels it who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
