Famous quotes containing the words babylonian and/or army:
“Alls vast that vastness means. Nay, I affirm
Nature is whole in her least things exprest,
Nor know we with what scope God builds the worm.
Our towns are copied fragments from our breast;
And all mans Babylons strive but to impart
The grandeurs of his Babylonian heart.”
—Francis Thompson (18591907)
“Thats what an army isa mob; they dont fight with courage thats born in them, but with courage thats borrowed from their mass, and from their officers.”
