Military Quotations

These are military quotes about the strength of soldiers, the hard work they do, the sacrifices they make, and the importance they serve in a nation. Throughout history militaries have played a large role in keeping a country safe and waging wars against other nations for whatever reason. They are definitely not a modern invention. We have all heard of Caesars' conquers, but before them there was Alexander and many other great Persian and Asian military minds. Nonetheless, they are still important today, and the sacrifices soldiers make every day of their lives in the military is something that shouldn't be overlooked.

General Ulysses S. Grant
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.
Sun Tzu, the Art of War
The strength of an Army lies in strict discipline and undeviating obedience to its officers.
Thucydides, "History of The Peloponnesian War", book 2
