Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or troops:
“On every tree a bucket with a lid,
And on black ground a bear-skin rug of snow.
The sparks made no attempt to be the moon.
They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
