Famous quotes containing the words confederate, military and/or leaders:

    “Figure a man’s only good for one oath at a time. I took mine to the Confederate States of America.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
    —Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)

    “Unless the people can choose their leaders and rulers, and can revoke their choice at intervals long enough to test their measures by results, the government will be a tyranny exercised in the interests of whatever classes or castes or mobs or cliques have this choice.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
