Pretty Soldier Sailor

Famous quotes containing the words pretty, soldier and/or sailor:

    It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Will you vouchsafe to teach a soldier terms
    Such as will enter at a lady’s ear
    And plead his love-suit to her gentle heart?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
