Military Readiness

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or readiness:

“In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive.

—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

“The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.”
