Courts Martial

Famous quotes containing the words courts and/or martial:

“But O, young beauty of the woods,
Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;
Lest Flora, angry at thy crime
To kill her infants in their prime,
Do quickly make the example yours;
And ere we see,
Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“The country in the town. [Rus in urbe.]”
—Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)
