Army Quotes

Army: A body of men assembled to rectify the mistakes of the diplomats.

Josephus Daniels

A great war leaves the country with three armies - an army of cripples, an army of mourners, and an army of thieves

One who sets the entire army in motion to chase an advantage will not attain it.

Standing armies can never consist of resolute robust men; they may be well-disciplined machines, but they will seldom contain men under the influence of strong passions, or with very vigorous faculties.

Mary Wollstonecraft

When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.

George Washington

No army has ever done so much with so little

Douglas MacArthur

I have promised the Tunisian people that the French army will go, If I fail, I will be swept away.

Habib Bourguiba

An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.

Alexander III

Men of Athens... In truth I would not tell it to you if I did not care so much for all Hellas; I myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery. I tell you, then, that Mardonius and his army cannot get omens to his liking from the sacrifices. Otherwise you would have fought long before this. Now, however, it is his purpose to pay no heed to the sacrifices, and to attack at the first glimmer of dawn, for he fears, as I surmise, that your numbers will become still greater. Therefore, I urge you to prepare, and if (as may be) Mardonius should delay and not attack, wait patiently where you are; for he has but a few days' provisions left. If, however, this war ends as you wish, then must you take thought how to save me too from slavery, who have done so desperate a deed as this for the sake of Hellas in my desire to declare to you Mardonius' intent so that the barbarians may not attack you suddenly before you yet expect them. I who speak am Alexander the Macedonian.

Alexander I of Macedon

Two armies at death-grips that is one great army committing suicide.

Henri Barbusse

His hips felt as if an army of mad acupuncturists had been driving hot needles into them.

T. Coraghessan Boyle

The German Army is tired. The vain effort to defeat Russia's armies has used up its equipment and reduced its morale.

Heinrich Alfred Hermann Walther von Brauchitsch
