Military Dead

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or dead:

“There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
