Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

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

    “Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
    —Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)
