Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.”
    —Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)
