Famous quotes containing the words military and/or people:

    “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)

    “The people themselves, and not their servants, can safely reverse their own deliberate decisions.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
