Enemy Offensive

Famous quotes containing the words enemy and/or offensive:

    The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 15:26.

    People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
