Famous quotes containing the words pretty, soldier and/or sailor:
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly.

—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“Captain Bligh: Mr. Byam, you’re up late.
