Pretty Soldier Sailor

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

    I caught a blackjack right behind my ear. A black pool opened up at my feet. I dived in. It had no bottom. I felt pretty good—like an amputated leg.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)

    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)

    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)
