Light Horse Troops

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

    ... by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don’t quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil—widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    I on my horse, and Love on me, doth try
    Our horsemanships, while by strange work I prove
    A horseman to my horse, a horse to Love,
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    O, now for ever
    Farewell the tranquil mind, farewell content,
    Farewell the plumèd troops and the big wars
    That makes ambition virtue! O, farewell!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
