Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or navy:

    “But while meditating
    What we can’t or can
    Let’s keep starring man
    In the royal role.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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)
