VI, v. 4) No nation ever had an army large enough to guarantee it against attack in time of peace or insure it victory in time of war. - Calvin Coolidge For a free people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security. - Thomas Jefferson None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. - Thomas Jefferson No army has ever done so much with so little. - General Douglas MacArthur A standing army is one of the greatest mischiefs that can possibly happen. - James Madison The number of medals on an officer's breast varies in inverse proportion to the square of the distance of his duties from the front line. - Charles Edward Montague He belonged to that army known as invincible in peace, invisible in war. - General William Tecumseh Sherman The army is a good book to open to study human life. One learns there to put his hand to everything, to the lowest and highest things.
