Permanent Army

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or army:

    During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    An army is maintained for a thousand days all to be used on one morning.
    Chinese proverb.
