Famous quotes containing the words army and/or council:

    “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)

    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
