Famous quotes containing the words army and/or council:

    “These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion.

    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree

    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
