Famous quotes containing the words light and/or troops:
“I have my choice: who can wish for more? Free will enables us to do everything well while imposition makes a light burden heavy.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
