Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or troops:
“Just as the hand that strikes the ground cannot fail,
So is the ruin certain of him who cherishes anger.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
