Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “His hope is treacherous only whose love dies
    With beauty, which is varying every hour;
    But, in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power
    Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower,
    That breathes on earth the air of paradise.”
    —Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)

    “That’s what an army is—a mob; they don’t fight with courage that’s born in them, but with courage that’s borrowed from their mass, and from their officers.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
