Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “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)

    “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)
