Battle Practice

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or practice:

    In a time of war the nation is always of one mind, eager to hear something good of themselves and ill of the enemy. At this time the task of news-writers is easy, they have nothing to do but to tell that a battle is expected, and afterwards that a battle has been fought, in which we and our friends, whether conquering or conquered, did all, and our enemies did nothing.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    In a sense that I am unable to explicate further, the proponents of competing paradigms practice their trades in different worlds.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (1922)
