Rich/military

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or military:

    To nothing fitter can I thee compare
    Than to the son of some rich pennyfather,
    Who, having now brought on his end with care,
    Leaves to his son all he had heaped together;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. Military and economic power is necessarily wielded by people.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
