Famous quotes containing the words assault and/or troop:
“This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Old soldiers, Miss Dandridge. Someday youll learn how they hate to give up. Captain of a troop one day, every mans face turned toward ya. Lieutenants jump when I growl. Now tomorrow, Ill be glad if the blacksmith asks me to shoe a horse.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
