Pretty Soldier Sailor

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

    A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.
    Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)

    These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    Captain Bligh: Mr. Byam, you’re up late.
    Byam: It’s very warm below, sir.
    Captain Bligh: I hadn’t noticed it. A true sailor can sleep in an oven, if need be, or in a keg of ice.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
