Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
    —Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    “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)
