Famous quotes containing the words turkish and/or army:

    A man may grow rich in Turkey even, if he will be in all respects a good subject of the Turkish government.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
