Famous quotes containing the words military and/or honors:
“The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
