I don't know what effect these men will have upon the enemy, but, by God, they frighten me. ~ Arthur Wellesley
My Soldier quotes by Arthur Wellesley
O God of battles! steel my soldiers' hearts. Possess them not with fear. ~ William Shakespeare
My Soldier quotes by William Shakespeare
My soldier weapon is the weapon of truth. ~ Oriana Fallaci
My Soldier quotes by Oriana Fallaci
When I came in and you were sleeping, I thought: There's my soldier, exhausted from her wars." He lifted her hand, kissed her fingers. "Now, I look, and I think: There's my woman, soft and lovely." Her lips curved as he undressed her. "Where do you get this stuff?" "It just comes to me. I've only to look at you, and the world comes to me. You're my life. ~ J.D. Robb
My Soldier quotes by J.D. Robb
A leader is the man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do, and like it. ~ Harry S. Truman
My Soldier quotes by Harry S. Truman
I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a well of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander. ~ Alexander The Great
My Soldier quotes by Alexander The Great
I returned to the fields of glory, where the green grass an' flowers grow,
An' the wind softly sings the story of the braves lad of long ago.

In the great glen, they lie a-sleeping, where the cool waters gently flow,
An' the grey mist is sadly weeping for the brave lads of long ago.

See the tall grass is there a-waving as their flags were so long ago;
With their heads high, were forward braving, marching onwards to meet the foe.

March no more, my soldier laddie, there is peace where there once was war.
Sleep in peace, my soldier laddie. Sleep in peace now, the battle's o'er. ~ Unknown
My Soldier quotes by Unknown
Give me enough ribbons to place on the tunics of my soldiers and I can conquer the world. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
My Soldier quotes by Napoleon Bonaparte
Live for something rather than die for nothing.
- George Patton ~ Cindy Gerard
My Soldier quotes by Cindy Gerard
The chief bond of the soldier is his oath of allegiance and love for the flag. ~ Seneca The Younger
My Soldier quotes by Seneca The Younger
How do you balance the two halves of your self - the priest and the soldier?" The light and the darkness. It was not a question he should've asked, not a possibility he should've considered, but it was done and now he waited. Because he needed the answer.

"The same way you balance your todays and tomorrows. With hope and forgiveness. ~ Nalini Singh
My Soldier quotes by Nalini Singh
Begger or rich man, soldier or merchant, Rufus was indestructible, for the man who could laugh at life or death was in the end the only conqueror. ~ Rosemary Anne Sisson
My Soldier quotes by Rosemary Anne Sisson
That said, I don't really understand the point of the royal princes joining the army. Why send a couple of pampered party boys like Harry or William in to fight? In a war you need a ruthless, merciless killing machine, someone like Andy McNab, or Prince Philip. Prince Philip is the perfect soldier: he likes shooting things and he's a racist. He'd kill his own daughter-in-law if he thought he could get away with it. ~ Frankie Boyle
My Soldier quotes by Frankie Boyle
God and the Soldier all men adore, In time of trouble and no more, For when war is over And all thing righted, God is neglected, And the Old Soldier slighted. ~ Jan Morris
My Soldier quotes by Jan Morris
Use makes a better soldier than the most urgent considerations of duty,
familiarity with danger enabling him to estimate the danger. He sees how much is the risk, and is not afflicted with imagination; knows practically Marshal Saxe's rule, that every soldier killed costs the enemy his weight in lead. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
My Soldier quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
there are times when a truly remarkable soldier must resort to unorthodox behavior, disobeying his superiors to gain the greater glory. ~ William Manchester
My Soldier quotes by William Manchester
I don't think I could be a foot soldier. I don't know if I could take orders too good. I'm a little lazy. ~ Benicio Del Toro
My Soldier quotes by Benicio Del Toro
It isn't right to be obedient only when things go well; it is much harder to be a good, obedient soldier when things go badly and times are hard. Obedience and faith at such time is a virtue. ~ Wilhelm Keitel
My Soldier quotes by Wilhelm Keitel
Sometimes he felt like he'd been gone his whole life
in exile, away from the place he was supposed to be, and that, soldier-like, he was pining to be returned. Homesick for a place he'd never been. ~ Gillian Flynn
My Soldier quotes by Gillian Flynn
He'd been a successful soldier, as these things went; he'd generally been on the winning side, and had killed more of the enemy by good if dull tactics than his own men by bad but exciting ones. ~ Terry Pratchett
My Soldier quotes by Terry Pratchett
To generalize about war is like generalizing about peace. Almost everything is true. Almost nothing is true. At its core, perhaps, war is just another name for death, and yet any soldier will tell you, if he tells the truth, that proximity to death brings with it a corresponding proximity to life. After a firefight, there is always the immense pleasure of aliveness. The trees are alive. The grass, the soil - everything. All around you things are purely living, and you among them, and the aliveness makes you tremble. You feel an intense, out-of-the-skin awareness of your living self - your truest self, the human being you want to be and then become by the force of wanting it. In the midst of evil you want to be a good man. You want decency. You want justice and courtesy and human concord, things you never knew you wanted. There is a kind of largeness to it, a kind of godliness. Though it's odd, you're never more alive than when you're almost dead. You recognize what's valuable. Freshly, as if for the first time, you love what's best in yourself and in the world, all that might be lost. At the hour of dusk you sit at your foxhole and look out on a wide river turning pinkish red, and at the mountains beyond, and although in the morning you must cross the river and go into the mountains and do terrible things and maybe die, even so, you find yourself studying the fine colors on the river, you feel wonder and awe at the setting of the sun, and you are filled with a hard, aching lo ~ Tim O'Brien
My Soldier quotes by Tim O'Brien
dozens of groups of seven to sit on the dozens of trials that would take place, each group composed, as decreed by Terial himself, of the Seven: a mother, a merchant, a pauper, a prelate, a soldier, a son, and a dying man. ~ Brian Staveley
My Soldier quotes by Brian Staveley
But no soldier above the rank of sergeant ever served jail time. No civilian interrogators ever faced legal proceedings. Nobody was ever charged with torture, or war crimes, or any violation of the Geneva Conventions. Nobody ever faced charges for keeping prisoners naked,or shackled. Nobody ever faced charges for holding prisoners as hostages. Nobody ever faced charges for incarcerating children who were accused of no crime and posed no known security threat. Nobody ever faced charges for holding thousands of prisoners in a combat zone in constant danger of their lives. Nobody ever faced charges for arresting thousands of civilians without direct cause and holding them indefinitely, incommunicado, in concentration camp conditions. Nobody ever faced charges for shooting and killing prisoners who were confined behind concertina wire. And nobody has ever been held to account for murdering al-Jamadi in the Tier 1B shower, although Sabrina Harman initially faced several charges for having photographed him there. ~ Philip Gourevitch
My Soldier quotes by Philip Gourevitch
There is no glory in being a featherbed soldier, a man bedecked with gorgeous medals, but never beautified by a scar, or ennobled by a wound. All that you ever hear of such a soldier is that his spurs jingle on the pavement as he walks. There is no history for this carpet knight. He is just a dandy. He never smelled gunpowder in battle in his life. If he did, he fetched out his cologne to kill the offensive odor. Oh, if we could be wise enough to choose, even were as wise as the Lord Himself, we would choose the troubles which He has appointed to us, and we would not spare ourselves a single pang. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
My Soldier quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
All strive for victory. But not all understand what it truly is. To a soldier or pilot on the line, victory is surviving the current battle. To a politician, victory is an advantage one can bring to a bargaining table. To a warrior, victory is driving an enemy from the field of battle, or bringing him to surrender.
Sometimes victory is greater than the warrior could ever hope for.
Sometimes it is more than he is able to hear. ~ Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
My Soldier quotes by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars: Thrawn
You want soldiers who, when they get to a river after a long march, don't start rooting for their canteen in their pack, but just dive right in. ~ Tom Waits
My Soldier quotes by Tom Waits
We are absolutely right to condemn the suicide bomber's targeting of innocent civilians and mourn his victims. But as we have seen, in war the state also targets such victims; during the 20th century, the rate of civilian deaths rose sharply and now stands at 90 percent. In the West we solemnize the deaths of our regular troops carefully and recurrently honor the memory of the soldier who dies do his country. Yet the civilian deaths we cause are rarely mentioned, and there has been no sustained outcry in the West against them. Suicide bombing shocks us to the core; but should it be more shocking than the deaths of thousands of children in their homelands every every year because of land mines? Or collateral damage in a drone strike? ~ Karen Armstrong
My Soldier quotes by Karen Armstrong
In the soldier we see the love of country. When you are willing to go onto a battlefield and give your life to defend an ideal ... knowing that you may not live through day. ~ Frederick Lenz
My Soldier quotes by Frederick Lenz
You have to learn the difference between a man's looks, and how fine he shoots. They've never been one and the same. ~ Richard Puz
My Soldier quotes by Richard Puz
The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. ~ Smedley Butler
My Soldier quotes by Smedley Butler
The most effective method of propaganda directed at the enemy forces is to release captured soldiers and give the wounded medical treatment ... Whenever soldiers of enemy forces are captured, we immediately conduct propaganda among them ... This immediately knocks the bottom out of the enemy's slander that the Communist bandits kill everyone on sight. ~ Mao Zedong
My Soldier quotes by Mao Zedong
All the common people want is to be left alone. All the ordinary soldier wants is to collect his pay and not get killed. That's why the great forces of history can be manipulated by astonishingly small groups of determined people. ~ Orson Scott Card
My Soldier quotes by Orson Scott Card
A few regular troops from old France, weakened by hunger and sickness, who, when fresh, were unable to withstand the British soldiers, are their general's chief dependence. ~ James Wolfe
My Soldier quotes by James Wolfe
Israelis are wrong in not looking for a change in the relationship with the United States that would put it more in perspective - that we are the great power, they are the minor power. I don't think there are a great many American parents who will want to sacrifice their soldiers and children so Israel can maintain the West Bank. When that becomes clear, I think Israel's days are numbered as an ally that is never questioned or criticized. ~ Michael Scheuer
My Soldier quotes by Michael Scheuer
Readiness is the best way of truly taking care of soldiers. ~ Richard A. Kidd
My Soldier quotes by Richard A. Kidd
You know what you do when you can't stand up and march, soldier? Vosch asks. You crawl. ~ Rick Yancey
My Soldier quotes by Rick Yancey
It is important to live each day with a positive perspective. It is not wise to pretend problems do not exist, but it is wise to look beyond the problem to the possibilities that are in it. When Goliath came against the Israelites, the soldiers all thought, "He's so big, we can never kill him." But David looked at the same giant and thought, "He's so big, I can't miss him. ~ Dale E. Turner
My Soldier quotes by Dale E. Turner
Anyone who met him today would say, *Soldier. Fighter.* They would want him on their team. As a mother she was willing to engage in pride over fear and to admit the possibility that his sacrifice was hers, too. His sacrifice was something she had been able to give her country. ~ Lea Carpenter
My Soldier quotes by Lea Carpenter
The Renaissance was a time of mercenary soldiers, ours is a time of mercenary labor. ~ Eric Hoffer
My Soldier quotes by Eric Hoffer
When I introduced a black soldier, Lt. Flap, in 1971, the Stars and Stripes banned the strip. They were having racial problems and thought it would increase the tensions. ~ Mort Walker
My Soldier quotes by Mort Walker
I've played a super soldier, a doctor, a World War II fighter pilot, a professional footballer, and a meth-dealing junkie. All those things allow you to educate yourself about different worlds that you have to get familiar with. ~ Robert Kazinsky
My Soldier quotes by Robert Kazinsky
First we attacked the Russian soldiers with our gases, and then when we saw the poor fellows lying there, dying slowly, we tried to make breathing easier for them by using our own life-saving devices on them. ~ Otto Hahn
My Soldier quotes by Otto Hahn
Damn the wars but bless the soldier. ~ T.L. Moffitt
My Soldier quotes by T.L. Moffitt
I was acquainted once with a gallant soldier who assured me that his only measure of courage was this: upon the first fire, in an engagement, he immediately looked upon himself as a dead man. He then bravely fought out the remainder of the day, perfectly regardless of all manner of danger, as becomes a dead man to be. So that all the life or limbs he carried back again to his tent he reckoned as clear gains, or, as he himself expressed it, so much out of the fire. ~ Laurence Sterne
My Soldier quotes by Laurence Sterne
This is what opportunity brings with it. It's the self-determination of man. Every man in the course of his life eternal life undergoes countless changes and has to appear once in this worlds as a thief in certain periods of his activity. ~ Jaroslav Hasek
My Soldier quotes by Jaroslav Hasek
There's a richness in older music that's been forgotten. ~ Dave Soldier
My Soldier quotes by Dave Soldier
If his life depended on it, he
had to find out later why that indomitable soldier, accustomed to fighting to the last drop
of blood, had left the final battle of his life unfinished. ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
My Soldier quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I have often wondered why the sounds of the beating drums do not make the marching soldiers shoot their officers and go home. ~ Albert J. Nock
My Soldier quotes by Albert J. Nock
