Sovereign Military Order

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign, military and/or order:

    To every people the land is given on condition. Perceived or not, there is a Covenant, beyond the constitution, beyond sovereign guarantee, beyond the nation’s sweetest dreams of itself.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
