“Sometimes the rumour of an army is just as effective as the army itself.”

“When I went into the Army, I made up my mind that I was putting myself at the Army's disposal. I believe in the war. That doesn't mean I believe in the Army. I don't believe in any army. You don't expect justice out of an army, if you're a sensible, grown-up human being, you only expect victory. And if it comes to that, our Army is probably the most just one that ever existed. . . . I expected the Army to be corrupt, inefficient, cruel, wasteful, and it turned out to be all those things, just like all armies, only much less so than I thought before I got into it. It is much less corrupt, for example, than the German Army. Good for us. The victory we win will not be as good as it might be, if it were a different kind of army, but it will be the best kind of victory we can expect in this day and age, and I'm thankful for it.”

“The smile he gave her was wistful, just a little lift to his mouth. "You are a fighter."""Yes. Always. And sometimes I'm a whole army.”

“All societies that maintain armies maintain the belief that some things are more valuable than life itself.”

“An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.”

“What this world needs is a new kind of army...A army of LOVE & KINDNESS :)”
