Famous quotes containing the words army and/or act:

    “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)

    “I wish my countrymen to consider that whatever the human law may be, neither an individual nor a nation can ever commit the least act of injustice against the obscurest individual without having to pay the penalty for it. A government which deliberately enacts injustice, and persists in it, will at length even become the laughing-stock of the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
