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

    “And I live on, but in grief and self-contempt,

    “God help the horse, and the driver too!
    And the people and beasts who have never a friend!
    For the driver easily might have been you,
    And the horse be me by a different end!
    And nobody knows how their days will cease!
    And the poor, when they’re old, have little of peace!”
    —James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    “I have lived long enough: my way of life
    Is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf;
    And that which should accompany old age,
    As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
    I must not look to have.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
