Enemy Piece

Famous quotes containing the words enemy and/or piece:

“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The only way therefore to try a Piece of Wit, is to translate it into a different Language: If it bears the Test you may pronounce it true; but if it vanishes in the Experiment you may conclude it to have been a Punn.”
