Famous quotes containing the words military and/or command:
“In early times every sort of advantage tends to become a military advantage; such is the best way, then, to keep it alive. But the Jewish advantage never did so; beginning in religion, contrary to a thousand analogies, it remained religious. For that we care for them; from that have issued endless consequences.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman, pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
