Famous quotes containing the words military and/or action:
“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)
“Talk that does not end in any kind of action is better suppressed altogether.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
