Light Horse Troops

Famous quotes containing the words light, horse and/or troops:

    When I consider how my light is spent,

    And that one talent which is death to hide
    Lodged with me useless.

    When a friend calls to me from the road
    And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
    I don’t stand still and look around
    On all the hills I haven’t hoed....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Therefore the skilful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.
