Famous quotes containing the words military, free and/or fall:
“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)
“Give a man a free hand and he’ll try to put it all over you.”
—Raoul Walsh, U.S. screenwriter. Frisco Doll (Mae West)
“To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus 20:18.
