Famous quotes containing the word soldiers:

    “But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
    With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
    people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
    The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all
    The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
    The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Bravery in simple soldiers is a dangerous trade, to which they have bound themselves to get their livelihood.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
