Seat Night Attack

Famous quotes containing the words seat, night and/or attack:

    A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent’s courage and your onlooker’s heart—what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    For when the gallows is high
    Your journey is shorter to heaven.
    —Unknown. The Night before Larry Was Stretched (l. 57–58)

    I make this direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war, if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the Axis than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an Axis victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
