Famous quotes containing the words light, horse and/or troops:
“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“People do not think themselves ugly, just as no horse thinks its face is long.”
—Chinese proverb.
“A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
