Military General Headquarters

Famous quotes containing the words military, general and/or headquarters:

    “War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valour, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “I never saw any people who appeared to live so much without amusement as the Cincinnatians.... Were it not for the churches,... I think there might be a general bonfire of best bonnets, for I never could discover any other use for them.”
    —Frances Trollope (1780–1863)

    “Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
