Military Training

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or training:

“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.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“It’s [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.”
