Famous quotes containing the words military and and/or military:

    “The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance; the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
