Where are they now that we, the men whom they sent off to war, have returned? These are commanders who have deserted their troops, and there is no more serious crime in the law of war. The Army says they never leave their wounded. The Marines say they never leave even their dead. These men have left all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude. They have left the real stuff of their reputation bleaching behind them in the sun in this country.
Senator John Kerry
Without a general an army is lost.
Greek proverb
An army of a thousand is easy to find, but, ah, how difficult to find a general.
Chinese proverb
Therefore a victorious army first wins and then seeks battle; a defeated army first battles and then seeks victory.
Sun Tzu
Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach.
Joseph Stalin
An army marches on it's stomach
Napoleon Bonaparte
Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.
Blake Clark
An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.
Thomas Paine
Every man who expresses an honest thought is a soldier in the army of intellectual liberty.
Robert Ingersoll
Indecision is a virus that can run through an army and destroy its will to win or even to survive.
Wendell Mayes
The proximity of an army causes prices to go up; and high prices cause people's substance to be drained away. When their substance is drained away, they will be afflicted by heavy exactions. With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare, and their incomes dissipated.
Sun Tzu
An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.
Mao Zedong
The victory of a war is not determined by the size of an army or the quality of armaments. Factors like unshakable determination, heroism, and desire for liberation determine victory.
Vellupillai Pirapakaran
That army of yours, that the world with its devas can't overcome, I will smash with discernment
Gautama Buddha
