Military Ethics

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or ethics:

“There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“If you take away ideology, you are left with a case by case ethics which in practise ends up as me first, me only, and in rampant greed.”
