Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “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. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “[I]t is a civil Cowardice to be backward in asserting what you ought to expect, as it is a military Fear to be slow in attacking when it is your Duty.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust to him armed with his primer against the soldier in full military array.”
    —Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832)
