Text Quotes
Even if a king defeats his enemy in battle, that still doesn’t settle anything. There are other, less numerous armies of philosophers and scientists, and their contests determine the true triumph or defeat of nations. One scholar is matched with another; one creative mind with another; and one judicious temperament with his counterpart. A victory won on that field counts for three won by force of arms  (Armies Quotes) Against barbarity, poetry can resist only by confirming its attachment to human fragility like a blade of grass growing on a wall while armies march by  (Armies Quotes) The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people  (Armies Quotes) We make children and wealth and amass land and build halls and assemble armies and give great feasts, but only one thing survives us. Reputation  (Armies Quotes) Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king  (Armies Quotes) It is at moments of need that one learns who one’s friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson  (Armies Quotes) We have to have armies! We have to have military power! We have to have police forces, whether it’s police in a great city or police in an international scale to keep those madmen from taking over the world and robbing the world of its liberties  (Armies Quotes) The potential savings in the national budgets from the elimination of police, criminal courts, standing armies, pollution control agencies, drug enforcement, and many poverty programs is almost beyond calculation  (Armies Quotes) If we could just stop building up armies and things like that, we would have all the money we need for wildlife and poverty  (Armies Quotes) Stronger than all the armies is an idea thats time has come.... The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!  (Armies Quotes) A people who mean to be free must be prepared to meet danger in person, and not rely upon the fallacious protection of armies  (Armies Quotes) Armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few  (Armies Quotes) The leader of armies is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril  (Armies Quotes) You cannot build up a standing army and then throw it back into a box like tin soldiers. Armies equipped to the teeth with weapons, with highly developed instruments of murder and backed by their military interests, have their own dynamic functions  (Armies Quotes) I’m not implying that fantasy is for kids. I’m saying that more and more people are finally realizing that there’s more to fantasy stories than elves and wizards and goblin armies  (Armies Quotes) Armies, though always the supporters and tools of absolute power for the time being, are always the destroyers of it too; by frequently changing the hands in which they think proper to lodge it  (Armies Quotes) It is a maxim of cryptology that what one man can devise, another can unravel. This principle keeps armies of tax lawyers and accountants employed, but adds nothing to our national productivity  (Armies Quotes) Occupying armies have responsibilities, not rights. Their primary responsibility is to withdraw as quickly and expeditiously as possible, in a manner determined by the occupied population  (Armies Quotes) Justice is an unassailable fortress, built on the brow of a mountain which cannot be overthrown by the violence of torrents, nor demolished by the force of armies  (Armies Quotes) It is in disputes as in armies, where the weaker side sets up false lights, and makes a great noise, to make the enemy believe them more numerous and strong than they really are  (Armies Quotes) I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale  (Armies Quotes) The supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred battles. The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies of your enemies without having to fight them  (Armies Quotes) I like books whose virtue is all drawn together in a page or two. I like sentences that don’t budge though armies cross them  (Armies Quotes) Ender understood more than she said. Manipulation of gravity was one thing; deception by the officers was another; but the most important message was this: the adults are the enemy, not the other armies. They do not tell us the truth  (Armies Quotes) Didn’t people consider what could happen if armies of farm animals united in revolt?  (Armies Quotes) There are guerrilla armies that make little boys kill their own families. Such acts rip out the soul and make space for beasts to grow inside. Armies need beasts, don’t they? Pet beasts, to do their terrible work!  (Armies Quotes) Once upon a time, the sky knew the weight of angel armies on the move, and the wind blew infernal with the fire of their wings  (Armies Quotes) If you are situated at a great distance from the enemy, and the strength of the two armies is equal, it is not easy to provoke a battle, and fighting will be to your disadvantage  (Armies Quotes) When armies are mobilized and issues joined, the man who is sorry over the fact will always win  (Armies Quotes) There are roads which must not be followed, armies which must not be attacked, towns which must not be besieged, positions which must not be contested, commands of the sovereign which must not be obeyed  (Armies Quotes)
