German Troops

Famous quotes containing the words german and/or troops:

    The Germans—once they were called the nation of thinkers: do they still think at all?

    O, now for ever
    Farewell the tranquil mind, farewell content,
    Farewell the plumèd troops and the big wars
    That makes ambition virtue! O, farewell!
