It is the duty of our men to enroll themselves in the national services. We need all our manpower for defence. For the military and... we need a quarter of a million men.
Eamon de Valera
It was essentially for self defence that we went to war in Afghanistan and would go to war in Iraq.
Douglas Hurd
Men like Hitler and Stalin and their immediate lieutenants cannot plead in defence of their actions that these were justified by the accepted values of that time.
Douglas Hurd
New Zealand's taken some very significant decisions in relation to defence in the last two years.
Jenny Shipley
Not addicted to gluttony or drunkenness, this people who incur no expense in food or dress, and whose minds are always bent upon the defence of their country, and on the means of plunder, are wholly employed in the care of their horses and furniture.
Giraldus Cambrensis
Our commitment to defence goes beyond this. It's a long-term commitment to make SA the home for Australian defence. It's a commitment to providing the right infrastructure and the right people.
Jay Weatherill
Our job as a government is to start with the great underpinnings of our current economic growth - particularly defence and mining - and build on these.
Jay Weatherill
Sadness is also a kind of defence.
Ivo Andric
So my own suspicion is that the attorney has stopped this prosecution because part of her defence was to question legality and that would have brought his advice into the public domain again and there was something fishy about the way in which he said war was legal.
Clare Short
Strength lies not in defence but in attack.
Adolf Hitler
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defence of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
Thomas Hood
The Berlin Defence suited my strategy for the match. I had a defensive strategy - Actually, I had in my pocket some other sharper stuff to fall back on - but first I wanted to try the defensive strategy with Black and it worked so well.
Vladimir Kramnik
The defence and air defence ministers were both replaced and more than 2,000 officers lost their jobs.
Mathias Rust
The first lines of defence against criminals are the victims themselves.
Michael Badnarik
The history of man is the history of crimes, and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.
Simon Wiesenthal
The home to everyone is to him his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence, as for his repose.
Edward Coke
The lucky thing was that I was Italian; when the other Italians saw me fight back, they came to my defence.
Gregory Corso
The United Nations charter gives every nation the right to self defence, therefore when the American embassies were bombed it was a matter of time before the Americans responded by going for what they suspected were the causes of the attack.
Benazir Bhutto
There are some guys you have problems beating because of their style - I always had difficulties with guys like Michael Chang and Andre Agassi because their returns were so good and they played so well in defence.
Guy Forget
There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.
E. V. Lucas
