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

    “The methods by which a trade union can alone act, are necessarily destructive; its organization is necessarily tyrannical.”
    —Henry George (1839–1897)

    “The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “Signal smokes, war drums, feathered bonnets against the western sky. New messiahs, young leaders are ready to hurl the finest light cavalry in the world against Fort Stark. In the Kiowa village, the beat of drums echoes in the pulsebeat of the young braves. Fighters under a common banner, old quarrels forgotten, Comanche rides with Arapaho, Apache with Cheyenne. All chant of war. War to drive the white man forever from the red man’s hunting ground.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
