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.

- While the battle is going on, help out healthy comrades, and the wounded will be picked up without you. If you beat the enemy, it will be good: both the wounded and the healthy.
- Service and friendship, like 2 parallel lines, do not converge.
- Among the lower ranks there are also heroes.
- Easy to learn - hard to hike, hard to learn - easy to hike.
In addition to the serious "bloc" are very much in demand about the army, which sing of the soldier's ingenuity, his stupidity and unenviable position.
- When you become a soldier, forget ordinary dreams. Kiss with a gun and give flowers to the ensign.
- The demobilization soldiers are counted.
- If a soldier says "didn't take", it means he won't give back.
- If you want to become a soldier, scold the dean with foul language.
- 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 first victims of war are truth, common sense and the ability to negotiate. (Johnson Hiram)
- War is war. It requires iron discipline. (V.I. Lenin)
- Victory depends on the prowess of the legions. (Gaius Julius Caesar)
- Money is the essence of the artillery of war. (Peter the Great)
- The war ends when the last soldier is buried. (Alexander Suvorov)
- Either humanity ends the war, or war with humanity. (D. Kennedy)
- Someday either wars will go out of fashion or people will.
In general, army humor occupies a large part of folklore and includes not only thoughtful and humorous statements, but also dialogues, stories, anecdotes and poetic forms.
Do you know who can cheer you up at a moment when it seems that everything has gone to hell? Warlord. The best of them had enough speech apparatus not only to give an order, but also to say the right words. And not only in wartime.
We have collected the statements of the most famous commanders in world history, whose tongues were sharper than weapons.
Alexander Suvorov
The great Russian military leader was a real "father to a soldier" and a very wise man in everyday life. Therefore, Count Rymniksky was always treated with great attention and respect.
"The smaller the army, the more brave."
"A soldier must be healthy, brave, firm, resolute, fair."
"For a soldier - courage, for an officer - courage, for a general - courage."
“With severity, mercy is needed, otherwise severity is tyranny.”
“It should not be thought that blind courage gives victory over the enemy, but the only thing mixed with it is military art.”
"Swiftness and onslaught are the soul of real war."
“Although courage, vigor and courage are needed everywhere and in all cases, they are only vain if they do not expire from a soldier.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Who is Napoleon? Cake? Pompous dwarf? Lover Hero? First of all, he is a wise ruler and a most talented commander, and it does not matter whether you consider him as such or not. As an emperor, he also had to “rule” the social life of the country, and therefore not all of his phrases relate to the war. Some of them are very doubtful, but should we argue with the dead?
“Religion is an important subject in women's schools. She, no matter how you look at her, is the most reliable guarantee for mothers and husbands. The school should teach the girl to believe, not to think.”
“A man should sleep four hours, a woman six; only children and stuffed fools sleep for more than six hours.

“The cowardly one flees from the one who is angrier than him; the weak are conquered by the strongest: such is the origin of political right.”
“Of course, there was no evangelical Christ. There was some Jewish fanatic who imagined himself to be the Messiah. Such people are killed everywhere, at all times. I myself had to shoot them.”
“Women should not be treated as equals, for they are only machines for the production of offspring. The best of women is the one with the most children.”
Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was so cool that he is revered by Muslims as a prophet. Ownership of the sword and innate coolness helped him not only to cut all sorts of knots and enemies, but also to conquer an empire, the size of which was almost half the world known to the Hellenes. Thanks to Oliver Stone's film, most people think of him as a big-eyed hunk, but in fact, Alexander is incredibly cool.
"I see that there will be a great contest over my grave."
“There are countless worlds in the universe, and I still haven’t conquered one!”
"Wars depend on glory, and often a lie that is believed becomes the truth."
"If I had not been Alexander, I would have become Diogenes."
"There cannot be two suns in the sky and two lords on earth."
"There is nothing more slavish than luxury and bliss, and nothing more regal than work."
“The more you have, the more greedily you strive for what you don’t have. Your war is born from victories.
"I'm dying from the help of too many doctors."
Gaius Julius Caesar
Guy Julius Caesar was probably the main pop star of ancient Rome. We say: "Rome", - we mean Yulik, we say: "Caesar", - we mean Rome. For us, there is only one Caesar, although there were a myriad of these Caesars. The great commander left behind not only the right to call the salad, but also hundreds of catchphrases that have long come into use, and we don’t even know what he is. It is especially interesting to read his sayings about sudden death and betrayal, remembering the story of his death.
"The greatest enemy hides where you least look for him."
"I'd rather be first here (in a poor town) than second in Rome."
"Gain glory for yourself."
“It is easier to find such people who voluntarily go to death than those who patiently endure pain.”
"I came, I saw, I conquered."
"Make your way by force."
"People are willing to believe what they want to believe." (Libenter homines id, quod volunt, credunt)
"Divide and rule." (lat. Divide et impera)
“It is better to die immediately than to live in anticipation.”
“Such is the vice inherent in our nature: things invisible, hidden and unknown, give rise in us both great faith and strongest fear.”
"I love betrayal, but I hate traitors."
And finally, the most famous:
"I came, I saw, I conquered." (veni, vidi, vici);
