The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.

Napoleon III

War is too important a matter to be left to the military.
Clemenceau, Georges

Those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.
Yeats, William Butler

The feeling about a soldier is, when all is said and done, he wasn't really going to do very much with his life anyway. The example usually is: he wasn't going to compose Beethoven's Fifth.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

10.

Voltaire

14.
Rogues, would you live forever?
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else.
Cromwell, Oliver

16.
Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?
Daly, Daniel

17.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be never so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen in England now abed shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Shakespeare, William

18.
Do you know what a soldier is, young man? He's the chap who makes it possible for civilized folk to despise war.
Massie, Allan

19.
Now, you mummy's darlings, get a rift on them boots. Definitely shine em, my little curly-headed lambs, for in our mob, war or no war, you die with clean boots on.
Kersh, Gerald

20.
The military mind is indeed a menace. Old-fashioned futurity that sees only men fighting and dying in smoke and fire; hears nothing more civilized than a cannonade; scents nothing but the stink of battle-wounds and blood.
O'Casey, Sean

21.
'Tis the soldier's life to have their balmy slumbers waked with strife.
Shakespeare, William

22.
Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right (or what is held to be right) is in the one man who commands them.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

23.
No profession or occupation is more pleasing than the military; a profession or exercise both noble in execution (for the strongest, most generous and proudest of all virtues is true valor) and noble in its cause. No utility either more just or universal than the protection of the repose or defense of the greatness of one's country. The company and daily conversation of so many noble, young and active men cannot but be well-pleasing to you.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

24.
Admiral. That part of a warship which does the talking while the figurehead does the thinking.
Bierce, Ambrose

25.
Conscription may have been good for the country, but it damn near killed the army.
Hull, Sir Richard

26.
No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned. A man in a jail has more room, better food and commonly better company.
Johnson, Samuel

27.
The General Order is always to maneuver in a body and on the attack; to maintain strict but not pettifogging discipline; to keep the troops constantly at the ready; to employ the utmost vigilance on sentry go; to use the bayonet on every possible occasion; and to follow up the enemy remorselessly until he is utterly destroyed.
Carnot, Lazare

28.
The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten.
Coolidge, Calvin

29.
I must have the gentleman to haul and draw with the mariner, and the mariner with the gentleman. I would know him, that would refuse to set his hand to a rope, but I know there is not any such here.
Drake, Sir Francis

30.
There is something about going to sea. A little bit of discipline, self-discipline and humility are required.
Andrew, Prince

31.
The Royal Navy of England hath ever been its greatest defense and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength; the floating bulwark of the island.
Blackstone, Sir William

32.
Children play soldier. That makes sense. But why do soldiers play children?
Kraus, Karl

33.
How happy is the sailor's life, from coast to coast to roam; in every port he finds a wife, in every land a home.
Bickerstaffe, Isaac

34.
Valor, glory, firmness, skill, generosity, steadiness in battle and ability to rule -- these constitute the duty of a soldier. They flow from his own nature.
Bhagavad Gita

35.
The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
