Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “[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)

    “I’m not a military man, Captain. War holds no romance for me. The side effects are repulsive.”
    —Richard Bluel, and Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)

    “Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
