I made it very plain: We will not have an all-volunteer army. [Crowd boos] Let me restate that. We will not have a draft.
George Walker Bush
An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.
Alexander III
Nothing is so contrary to military rules as to make the strength of your army known, either in the orders of the day, in proclamations, or in the newspapers.
Napoleon Bonaparte
How few are the Romans and how numerous are we ! 'An army's strength lies not in numbers of men but in Allah's help, and its weakness lies in being forsaken by Allah"
al-Walid, Khalid ibn
Nothing can be more hurtful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army the superiority over another.
George Washington
Without discipline the Army would just be a bunch of guys wearing the same color clothing.
Frank Burns
The prosperity of a nation requires the protection of a senate. Hereafter a national senate may require the protection of a national army.
Thomas Francis Meagher
Diana had the combination of status and sex appeal which made her more starry than a movie star. Camilla scrubs up well but it takes an army of make-up artists and dress designers. Diana had it naturally.
Judy Wade
The army is the true nobility of our country.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.
Henry David Thoreau
It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
Robert H. Schuller
On that arid square, that fragment nipped off from hot Africa, soldered so crudely to inventive Europe; On that tableland scored by rivers, Our thoughts have bodies; the menacing shapes of our fever Are precise and alive. For the fears which made us respond To the medicine ad and the brochure of winter cruises Have become invading battalions; And our faces, the institute-face, the chain-store, the ruin Are projecting their greed as the firing squad and the bomb. Madrid is the heart. Our moments of tenderness blossom As the ambulance and the sandbag; Our hours of friendship into a people's army.
Wystan Hugh Auden
Genius discovers a system; average talent stereotypes it till it is shattered by fresh genius. It is dangerous for an army to be led by veterans; for on the other side God may place Napoleon.
Sri Aurobindo
