V. I. Datsevich
Talking about a task does not mean knowing how to do it.
Regarding the masses, it is certainly true that where they read more, they think more.
What is useless in war is harmful to introduce into peaceful training.
In peacetime, one must learn not to rush anywhere and not to be late for anything; It’s too late to pick up this habit in the military.
A leader who is devoted to his work should not be afraid and learn himself... It is necessary to sincerely admit his mistakes, and not pretend to be sinless.
A little more heart, a little more attention to the soldier on the part of the officer, and success is sure.
Saving people is the most sacred duty of every boss.
Giving an order briefly and clearly, encouraging with a word, with a look is a great and difficult art, which for most is given only by practice.
If the officer doesn't do it, then no one will.
An army in which the officer enjoys the confidence of the soldier has on its side such an advantage that cannot be acquired either by numbers, or by the perfection of technology, or by anything else.
An officer is not only a military rank, but also a public figure; The army is not only an armed force, but also a school for educating the people, preparing them for social life.
An army must be an organically growing mass, and not a mechanically united mass... and the feeling of camaraderie cannot fail to bear all its fruits; fighting side by side with a person to whom your heart lies, or with someone who only has one thing in common with you in height, is not the same thing.
Don't think about yourself, think about your comrades; your comrades will think about you - this is the first military commandment.
Success in warfare rests on will; the mind suggests only the easiest path to success.
In battle, only he strikes who is not afraid to die; for a person who has raised himself in this way, there are no surprises... And only under this condition... audacity and perseverance in achieving a goal will become natural.
What could be more contemptuous in a military man than fear, which paralyzes both the mind and the will?
Above all... is the willingness to suffer and die, that is, selflessness... it gives the strength to endure to the end, to make a sacrifice of supreme love to the Motherland.
M. I. Dragomirov
Moral development determines the existence of a strong military family, which the soldier loves and willingly accepts all its customs.
It is necessary for a soldier to be proud of his appearance beautiful view, his uniform, the characteristic manners of the unit in which he serves, and in general his dashing appearance.
The dashing appearance of a soldier... plays a very important role in critical moments of battle. ...First of all, the general dashing appearance of the masses will catch your eye, and this is enough to prevent the masses from faltering.
Drilling... relates to the boss even more than to the soldier; a confused soldier confuses himself, and even pushes his comrades, and a confused commander confuses hundreds and thousands.
And drill and educate!.. But only - first yourself, and then the soldier.
N. D. Butovsky
An officer should be a persona for the whole society... his authority should not be undermined by anyone, as long as he does his job.
Demand from the subordinate what needs to be done; let him decide for himself how to carry out the order.
What is needed is a good selection of bosses and a system of production and appointments that would make it possible to promote people in accordance with their strength of character, intelligence and knowledge.
A. A. Terekhov
If you want soldiers to perform honestly and from the heart, do it yourself! And those who are too gentle for such rough work, do not hesitate to leave...
It is better to have fewer officers, but quite reliable ones, than a lot of incapable ones. The example is contagious.
N. Ya. Shneur
Monetary rewards for military ranks for their military merits do not suit the spirit of the Russian army... A Russian soldier does not go to service for money, he looks at war as the fulfillment of his sacred duty, to which he is called by fate, and does not expect money awards for his service... Anyone who can be influenced by money in wartime is not worthy of the honor of wearing a naval uniform.
It is easy to get our youth to work, they just need to see that the results of their work are useful... The sooner a young person sees active service, the better.
An officer who, after leaving school, stops studying cannot be called a reliable officer.
S. O. Makarov
A commander who allows robbery and violence against residents and prisoners in his troops lays the most disastrous foundation for the moral decay of the troops and the guarantee of their certain defeat by the enemy.
Discipline must be ironclad. There is no doubt about this, but this is achieved by the moral authority of the boss, and not by slaughter.
It is necessary that officers retain full energy, self-control and the ability to make independent decisions under all circumstances.
To succeed, the commander must lead his unit into battle, and not send it.
Tireless care for the soldier, love for him, proven by deeds, is the best guarantee of victory.
Victory is based on mutual assistance.
Not uniforms, but the spirit of the troops, not bookish calculation, but genius, not hasty peaceful training, but war - this is what shapes both the army and the leaders.
Let us preserve in all purity the glory of the Russian name and the glory of the regiments, supported... at the cost of blood.

Rulers need wise men much more than wise men need rulers.
Thomas Aquinas
The best ruler is the one about whom the people know only that he exists. Somewhat worse are those rulers whom the people love and exalt. Even worse are those rulers whom the people fear, and worst of all are those rulers whom the people despise.
The army is an inevitable phenomenon, and most young people no longer want to run away from it, as in the 1990s. According to statistics from the Ministry of Defense, 75% of men from 18 to 27 years old served in the Russian Armed Forces. Emergency service ceased to be a scarecrow and for many, 1 or 2 years “in boots” became a source of pleasant memories and a time of gaining invaluable experience.
This is the reason for the increased popularity of the corresponding type of folklore - poems, jokes, songs and quotes about the army, service, morals of soldiers and officers.
"Great Minds" of the World about the Army
Most of the historically significant personalities were commanders of armies, rulers of their states, or long time moved in military circles. Ancient thinkers, ministers and presidents different countries, generals - they all left a legacy to the world of many quotes about the army and the circumstances associated with it:
- The soldier is required to have endurance and patience. Bravery is not required. (Napoleon Bonaparte)
- no heavier than the chains of a prisoner of war. (Dwight Eisenhower)
- Any task can be done in 3 ways: right, wrong and “like in the army.” (American proverb)
- Once defeated armies learn well. (V.I. Lenin)
- In the army, death is not considered a valid reason for not following an order. (Russian proverb)
Statements by army officers
This layer of quotes about the army is filled with humor, because most of it comes from random slips of military personnel. Moreover, in the early 90s, a small collection of statements by officers was even published Soviet army, many of which were uttered back in the 1970s. They still laugh at them to this day.
- You live like pigs in a den!
- Dig from the fence until lunchtime. I agreed with the shovels.
- Be silent, I ask you!
- After the "Hang up" command comes dark time days.
However, there is also a serious layer of aphorisms dedicated to senior officers:
- Generals are always preparing for the last war. (W. Churchill )
- Nothing lifts morale like a dead general. . ( John Masters)
- An officer will not become a good commander if he no longer fears the corporal. (Bruce Marshall)
Soldier's wits
Most of the things about soldiers were said by Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov. Including:
- Every warrior must know his maneuver.
- Wherever a deer goes, a soldier will go.

- Service and friendship are like 2 parallel lines - they do not converge.
- There are also heroes among the lower ranks.
- It's easy to learn - it's hard to go on a hike, hard to learn - it's easy to go on a hike.
In addition to the serious “bloc,” there is a great demand for stories about the army, which glorify the soldier’s ingenuity, his stupidity and unenviable position.
- When you become a soldier, forget ordinary dreams. Kiss the machine gun and give flowers to the ensign.
- Soldiers are considered demobilized.
- If a soldier says “didn’t take it,” it means he won’t give it up.
- If you want to become a soldier, curse the dean.
- A soldier is always an impudent face, an empty stomach and not an ounce of conscience!
Aphorisms and statuses of girls
It just so happens that there are not too many quotes about the army for girls waiting for guys from the army. Only one is widely known and not with the most pleasant meaning: “A girl who waited for her boyfriend in civilian life is a museum rarity.”
Much of the popular folklore on this topic is represented by phrases for statuses in in social networks, where representatives of the fair sex try to express their longing for their lovers. Among them:
- I'm a soldier's girl!
- He was waiting for me after school, and now I'm waiting for him. From the army.
- There are 4 hours between us by bus, but I can’t get through the checkpoint of your part.
- Many people have boyfriends, but not everyone has soldiers.
Sometimes among the statuses and quotes about the army for girls there are approaches with humor:
- The girl who is waiting for the guy from the army is not Hachiko. But well done too!
- The army is a bitch. Takes our guys away.
- I solemnly swear allegiance to my beloved soldier. I swear to strictly fulfill the duties of a “girl in waiting”, to reject males and to courageously defend our love! (Oath of Allegiance) .
- Your favorite one owes you a favor. 365 nights.
The main thing about the war
Among quotes about the army, they occupy a special place - a rather serious and terrifying phenomenon. As a rule, they don’t joke about him even “just like that.” Thinkers of ancient times and contemporaries all recognize the necessity and even some inevitability of military action in the world:
- The goal of any war is to achieve peace. (Aristotle )

In general, army humor occupies a significant part of folklore and includes not only thoughtful and humorous statements, but also dialogues, stories, anecdotes and poetic forms.
Military quotes can give you strength of spirit and set you up for active work. Quotes about the military are also collected here. This selection may or may not appeal to those who are involved or simply love everything related to military affairs.
The military class is the most honorable. What is war, what is needed for success in military affairs, what are the morals of military society? The purpose of war is murder, the weapons of war are espionage, treason and its encouragement, the ruin of the inhabitants, their robbery or theft to feed the army; deception and lies, called stratagems; the morals of the military class are lack of freedom, that is, discipline, idleness, ignorance, cruelty, debauchery, drunkenness.
