Famous quotes containing the words israel, defense and/or forces:

    “We Americans are the peculiar, chosen people—the Israel of our time; we bear the ark of the liberties of the world.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Though a censure lies against those who are poor and proud, yet is Pride sooner to be forgiven in a poor person than in a rich one; since in the latter it is insult and arrogance; in the former, it may be a defense against temptations to dishonesty; and, if manifested on proper occasions, may indicate a natural bravery of mind, which the frowns of fortune cannot depress.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “Her wrongs are ... indissolubly linked with all undefended woe, all helpless suffering, and the plenitude of her “rights” will mean the final triumph of all right over might, the supremacy of the moral forces of reason and justice and love in the government of the nation. God hasten the day.”
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
