Famous quotes containing the words soldiers and/or troops:

    “Christians would show sense if they dispatched these argumentative Scotists and pigheaded Ockhamists and undefeated Albertists along with the whole regiment of Sophists to fight the Turks and Saracens instead of sending those armies of dull-witted soldiers with whom they’ve long been carrying on war with no result.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)

    “The horseman on the pale horse is Pestilence. He follows the wars.”
    —Ardel Wray, and Mark Robson. Explaining why he is taking pains to protect his troops from plague (1945)
