Robert The Bruce/the Battle of Bannockburn

Famous quotes containing the words bruce and/or battle:

    Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That’s what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is—One Who Killed Our Lord.... And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.
    —Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

    In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it’s more dangerous to lose than to win.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
