Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

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