The distant rear of an army engaged in battle is not the best place from which to judge correctly what is going on in front.

Ulysses S. Grant

I have a really small rear-view mirror in my life. I look at the rear-view mirror for memories and learning experiences, but I've got a big front windshield and I'm looking at right now. I've got so many projects on my plate.

Pat Croce

Never comment on a woman's rear end. Never use the words 'large' or 'size' with 'rear end'. Never. Avoid the area altogether. Trust me.

REAR, n. In American military matters, that exposed part of the army that is nearest to Congress.

Ambrose Bierce

If Paulus's army had capitulated before the end, the Russians would have had the advantage of withdrawing forces against Paulus and against the southern front, where I had only two Romanian armies. Therefore, the resistance of the Sixth German Army, even to the death of the last man, was necessary.

Erich von Manstein

When you are getting kicked from the rear it means you are in front.

We all know it's brutal up there at the front, especially those of us at the rear.

In the future, if nuclear weapons are unleashed there will be no front and no rear.

Nikita Khrushchev

The problem comes up because we ask the question in the wrong way. We supposed that solids were one thing and space quite another, or just nothing whatever. Then it appeared that space was no mere nothing, because solids couldn't do without it. But the mistake in the beginning was to think of solids and space as two different things, instead of as two aspects of the same thing. The point is that they are different but inseparable, like the front end and the rear end of a cat. Cut them apart, and the cat dies.

Alan Watts

I've been a pain in the rear for the Republican Party, and if I were to continue to be involved in the Democratic Party, I will continue to be a pain in the rear on campaign finance, health care, the environment. I'm not interested in party loyalty issues.

Richard Painter

Mounting a large rock, I was able to see a considerable body of the enemy moving by the flank in rear of their line engaged, and passing from the direction of the foot of Great Round Top through the valley toward the front of my left.

Joshua Chamberlain

People say I'm a pain in the rear, but we surrender to people who say we are pains the rear.

Rudy Ruettiger

Sadly, it has often been said that my rear is better than my front, so thank you very much indeed.

Anton du Beke

I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes.
