Army Field Artillery

Famous quotes containing the words army, field and/or artillery:

    The army is always the same. The sun and the moon change. The army knows no seasons.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery—by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press—their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
