The army is an inevitable phenomenon, and most young people no longer aspire to run away from it, as in the 1990s. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Defense, 75% of men from 18 to 27 years old served in the Russian Armed Forces. Military service has ceased to be a scarecrow and for many, 1 or 2 years "in boots" have become a source of pleasant memories and a time to gain 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 personalities significant for history were commanders of armies, rulers of their states, or rotated in military circles for a long time. Ancient thinkers, ministers and presidents of different countries, generals - they all left a lot of quotes about the army and related circumstances as a legacy to the world:

• The soldier requires endurance and patience. Courage is not required. (Napoleon Bonaparte)
  
• no heavier than the chains of a prisoner of war. (Dwight Eisenhower)
  
• Any business can be done in 3 ways: right, wrong and "like in the army." (American saying)
• Armies once defeated learn well. (V.I. Lenin)
• In the army, death is not considered a valid reason for disobeying an order. (Russian proverb)
  

Statements of army officers

This layer of quotes about the army is filled with humor, because for the most part it comes from random slips of the tongue in the military. Moreover, in the early 90s, a small collection of statements by officers of the Soviet Army was even released, many of which were uttered back in the 1970s. They are still laughed at.

• Live like pigs in a den!
• Dig from the fence until lunch. I agreed with shovels.
• Shut up, I'm asking you!
• After the command "Hang out" comes the dark time of the day.

However, there is also a serious layer of aphorisms dedicated to senior officers:

• Generals are always preparing for the last war. (W. Churchill )
• Nothing boosts morale like a dead general. . ( John Masters)
• An officer will not become a good commander if he stops being afraid of a corporal. (Bruce Marshall)

Soldier savvy

Most of the soldiers spoke at the time, Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov. Including:

• Every warrior must know his maneuver.

• Service and friendship, like 2 parallel lines, do not converge.
• Among the lower ranks there are also heroes.

• A soldier is always an impudent mug, an empty stomach and not an ounce of conscience!

Aphorisms and statuses of girls

It just so happened 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 a "citizen" is a museum rarity."

Most of the popular folklore on this subject is represented by phrases for statuses on social networks, where the fair sex tries to express their longing for their beloved. 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 past the checkpoint of your unit.
• Many have boyfriends, but not everyone has a soldier.

Sometimes among the statuses and quotes about the army for girls there are approaches with humor:

• The girl waiting for the guy from the army is not Hachiko. But also well done!
• 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 "waiting girl", reject male faces and courageously defend our love! (Oath of Allegiance) .
• Your favorite debt. 365 nights.

The main thing about the war

Among the quotes about the army, they occupy a separate place - a rather serious and terrifying phenomenon. As a rule, they don’t even joke about him “just like that”. Thinkers of antiquity 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 )

• The war ends when the last soldier is buried. (Alexander Suvorov)
• Either humanity ends the war, or war with humanity. (D. Kennedy)

Dear readers, let me bring to your attention a small collection of wise sayings made by the Holy Fathers, Church leaders, scientists, generals, heads of state and writers and dedicated to military service, patriotism and the defense of the Motherland:

1.“The soldiers also asked him: what should we do? And he said to them: do not offend anyone, do not slander, and be content with your salary. Prophet John the Baptist (Luke 3:14)

2. “The Roman generals inflamed the courage of the soldiers many times, mixing memories of spouses and children with the name of the Fatherland. These tender commitments are indeed the school of mankind.” Gavriil Romanovich Derzhavin

3.“The cruel truth of war is not in the word “die”, but in the word “kill”. I did not use the term "instinct", but appealed to it, to the mighty instinct for the preservation of life. I sought to excite and strain him to win the battle.

The enemy is coming to kill you and me. I teach you, I demand: kill him, know how to kill him, because I want to live too. And each of us tells you, each orders: kill - we want to live! And you demand from a comrade - you must demand it, if you really want to live - kill! Homeland is you. Motherland is us, our families, our mothers, our wives and children. Homeland is our people.

Maybe the bullet will overtake you, but first kill! Eat as much as you can! This will keep him alive, and him, and his comrades in the trench and rifle! I, your commander, want to fulfill the command of our wives and mothers, the command of our people. I want to lead into battle not to die, but to live! Alexander Beck, Volokolamsk Highway.

4."Disdain the enemies of God, defeat the enemies of the Fatherland, love your enemies." Saint Philaret of Moscow

5.“For the sake of the fatherland, even glory should be sacrificed.” Fabius Maxim

7.“Is the military rank devoid of hope of salvation? Is there not a single pious centurion? I recall the first centurion, who, standing at the cross of Christ and realizing his strength by miracles, when the insolence of the Jews had not yet cooled down, was not afraid of their fury and did not refuse to proclaim the truth, but confessed and did not deny that the Son of God truly was. I also know another centurion who, when he was still in the flesh, knew about the Lord that He is God and the King of hosts, and that one command is enough for Him to send benefits to those in need through ministering spirits. About his faith and the Lord confirmed that it is greater than the faith of all Israel. But Cornelius, being a centurion, did he not deign to see an angel and, finally, through Peter, did he not receive salvation? Saint Basil the Great

8. "A people who do not want to feed their own army will soon be forced to feed someone else's." Emperor Napoleon I Bonaparte

9. “Not to be a warrior is a sin, but to fight for theft is lawlessness.” Saint Ambrose of Milan

10. “Wars are ignited most of all for the sake of acquiring other people's property. But one should not blame all those waging war; those who initiated either the infliction of offense or theft are justly called destructive demons; those who avenge moderately should not be reproached as those who acted unjustly, because they are doing a lawful deed. Rev. Isidore Pelusiot

11. “Victory is decided by the art of war and the courage of the generals and the fearlessness of the soldiers. Their chest is the protection and fortress of the Fatherland. Emperor Peter I the Great

12. “God loves a good-natured world, and God blesses righteous warfare. For since there are non-peaceful people on earth, it is impossible to have peace without military help. An honest and trustworthy world, for the most part, must be won. And in order to preserve the acquired peace, it is necessary that the conqueror himself does not allow his weapons to rust. Saint Philaret of Moscow

13. “They fight for the love of their own, so that they are not subjected to captivity and violence by the enemy. What did the French do in Russia? And how was it not to fight with them? Saint Theophan the Recluse

14. “While fighting for freedom, we must be careful not to violate the freedom of conscience of others, always remembering that God is the judge over the hearts of people.

I am quite sure that no one should hesitate for a moment to resort to weapons to protect the priceless gift of freedom, on which all good and evil in life depend, but the weapon, I dare add, is the last resort. George Washington

15. "A thin citizen of the earthly Fatherland and the heavenly one is unworthy." Saint Philaret of Moscow

16. “The best way to instill in children a love for the fatherland is that this love should be in the fathers.” Charles Louis de Montesquieu

17. “Remember that the earthly Fatherland with its Church is the threshold of the Heavenly Fatherland, therefore love it fervently and be ready to lay down your soul for it.” Righteous John of Kronstadt

18. "The true warrior of Christ is the one who, in addition to earthly weapons, also has the weapons of God - living faith, firm hope, unfeigned love for the truth and Christian humility." Saint Innocent of Kherson

19. “The fatherland is that mysterious, but living organism, the outlines of which you cannot clearly define for yourself, but whose touch you constantly feel, because you are connected with this organism by an uninterrupted umbilical cord.” Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin

20.“Going to battle with adversaries, it is appropriate to beware of all unkind words and deeds, direct your thoughts to God and create prayer and fight in a clear consciousness, for help is given from God to bright hearts. Not from greater strength victory in battle, but in God a fortress. Equal-to-the-Apostles Methodius, Slovenian teacher.

21. "Only one fatherland contains that which is dear to all." Mark Tullius Cicero

22. “There is no higher idea than how to sacrifice your own life, defending your brothers and your Fatherland.” Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, paraphrase of the Holy Scriptures

23. “Whatever is ordered that is not contrary to the law of God, listen and do it: otherwise do not listen, since it is more fitting to obey God than men. This is what the holy martyrs did... if [the commander] orders to do wrong, offend, steal, lie, and so on, do not obey. If he threatens to punish him for this, do not be afraid. Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk

24. “A good name belongs to every honest person, but I concluded a good name in the glory of my Fatherland, and all my deeds tended to its prosperity. Self-love, often a submissive veil of fleeting passions, never controlled my actions. I forgot myself where it was necessary to think about the common good. My life was a harsh school, but innocent morals and natural generosity facilitated my labors: my feelings were free, and I myself was firm. Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov

25. “Fortitude is one of the first virtues of the army, both earthly and spiritual. Warriors experienced in battle consider a brave attack on an enemy formation as a sign of courage, but incomparably greater - silently standing with gloomy firmness under the cannonballs and buckshot of enemy batteries, when the general plan of the commander requires it. It is on such warriors that he can rely the most, on such warriors our ascetic Jesus Christ relies most and crowns them with spiritual crowns. Saint Ignatius (Bryanchaninov)

26. “You are a future warrior! The business of a warrior is to stand cheerfully and always be ready to engage in a fight with the enemy, not sparing himself and not pleasing the enemy. Saint Theophan the Recluse

28.“The Church desires that a person wearing a military uniform be enlightened by the light of the Truth of Christ, so that the Lord Himself guides this person both in peacetime and in wartime. The Church believes that if a soldier gives his heart to Christ and is led by the Lord, then he will not go astray, but will sincerely and sacrificially defend his neighbors, honorably fulfill his military duties. Patriarch Alexy II

29. “Don't think about yourself, think about your comrades; your friends will think of you.
Here is the first military commandment. General Mikhail Dragomirov

30. “Christ our God commanded us to pray for those who offend us and to be pleased with them; but He commanded us: there is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for his friends. Therefore, we endure the insults that you inflict on each of us separately, but in society we defend each other and lay down our lives for our brothers, so that you, dragging them into captivity, do not captivate their souls along with their bodies, inclining the pious to your evil and ungodly deeds." Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril, Slovenian teacher

31. “Many who lay down their lives in battle will surely receive the remission of sins, and many will be crowned with incorruptible crowns of heavenly glory, and their remaining neighbors, and indeed all in general, suffering about this in their hearts and enduring great need, will involuntarily leave luxury and be established in faith ". Venerable Macarius of Optina

32. “When I met face to face with Russian wounded soldiers, I became convinced what an abyss of Christian love and selflessness lies in the heart of a Russian person, and nowhere, perhaps, they appear in such amazing strength and greatness as on the battlefield” . Reverend Seraphim of Sarov
