Famous quotes containing the words acting, veterans and/or affairs:

    Between the acting of a dreadful thing
    And the first motion, all the interim is
    Like a phantasma or a hideous dream.
    The genius and the mortal instruments
    Are then in council, and the state of man,
    Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
    The nature of an insurrection.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To the cry of “follow Mormons and prairie dogs and find good land,” Civil War veterans flocked into Nebraska, joining a vast stampede of unemployed workers, tenant farmers, and European immigrants.
    —For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
    Allan Massie (b. 1938)
