36th Herefordshire Regiment of Foot/1815

Famous quotes containing the words regiment and/or foot:

    Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement; a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, and flowery meads, and living waters outside; or a grimy palace amid the same with a regiment of housemaids always working to smear the dirt together so that it may be unnoticed; which, think you, is the most refined, the most fit for a gentleman of those two dwellings?
    William Morris (1834–1896)

    All my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay,
    And follow thee my lord throughout the world.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
