Famous quotes containing the words valley, forge and/or military:

Then you sit down and meditate and wonder which it will be.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
