Army Marched

Famous quotes containing the words army and/or marched:

“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“How long she stayed I cannot tell;
But when she felt this perfidy,
She marched across the floor of hell;
And all the damned stood up to see.”
—John Davidson (1857–1909)
