Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will.

    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance; the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
