Famous quotes containing the words american and/or soldier:
“I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One can be a soldier without dying, and a lover without sighing.”
—Edwin, Sir Arnold (1832–1904)
