Volunteer Force

Famous quotes containing the words volunteer and/or force:

    We should have an army so organized and so officered as to be capable in time of emergency, in cooperation with the National Militia, and under the provision of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respectable expeditionary force if necessary in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monroe.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Then for the Style; Majestick and Divine,
    It speaks no less than God in every Line:
    Commanding words; whose Force is still the same
    As the first Fiat that produc’d our Frame.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
