Famous quotes containing the words principal, french and/or military:
“Rather than have it the principal thing in my sons mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.”
—Thomas Arnold (17951842)
“Are ye right there, Michael? are ye right?
Do you think that well be there before the night?
Yeve been so long in startin,
That ye couldnt say for sartin
Still ye might now, Michael, so ye might!”
—William Percy French (18541920)
“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)
