Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “I’m not a military man, Captain. War holds no romance for me. The side effects are repulsive.”
    —Richard Bluel, and Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)

    “[I]t is a civil Cowardice to be backward in asserting what you ought to expect, as it is a military Fear to be slow in attacking when it is your Duty.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)
