Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or troops:
“The proposed Constitution ... is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both.”

“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)
