Permanent Army

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or army:

“Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I’m the boss, you’re an idiot. You’re the boss, I’m an idiot.”
