Famous quotes containing the words field and/or uniform:
“Mine was, as it were, the connecting link between wild and cultivated fields; as some states are civilized, and others half-civilized, and others savage or barbarous, so my field was, though not in a bad sense, a half-cultivated field. They were beans cheerfully returning to their wild and primitive state that I cultivated, and my hoe played the Ranz des Vaches for them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“We call ourselves a free nation, and yet we let ourselves be told what cabs we can and cant take by a man at a hotel door, simply because he has a drum majors uniform on.”
—Robert Benchley (18891945)
