Famous quotes containing the words field and/or side:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“It seems incredible, and I love them no less; and I can say that I would rather die than see any diminution of it on one side or the other.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
