Navy Blue Border

Famous quotes containing the words navy, blue and/or border:

“People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

“Tom-tom, c’est moi. The blue guitar
And I are one.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)
