Royal Welch Fusiliers - Regimental Goat

Regimental Goat

Famous quotes containing the word goat:

    If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
