Land Force Command

Famous quotes containing the words land, force and/or command:

    We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Most new things are not good, and die an early death; but those which push themselves forward and by slow degrees force themselves on the attention of mankind are the unconscious productions of human wisdom, and must have honest consideration, and must not be made the subject of unreasoning prejudice.
    Thomas Brackett Reed (1839–1902)

    I, who should command a regiment,
    Do amble amiably here, O God,
    One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.
    Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
