Air Force Base

Famous quotes containing the words air, force and/or base:

    “The air deals blows: surely too hard, too often?
    No: it is bent on bringing summer down.
    Dead leaves desert in thousands, outwards, upwards,
    Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again: and a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Study is like the heaven’s glorious sun,
    That will not be deep searched with saucy looks;
    Small have continual plodders ever won,
    Save base authority from others’ books.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
