Famous quotes containing the words military and/or honors:
“Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
