Famous quotes containing the words dutch and/or troops:

    Too nice is neighbor’s fool.
    —Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
