Soldiers Die

Famous quotes containing the words soldiers and/or die:

“It is easier to get a thousand soldiers than to find one good general.”

“But some who this blithe mood present,
As on in lightsome files they fare,
Shall die experienced ere three days be spent—
Perish, enlightened by the vollied glare;
Or shame survive, and, like to adamant,
Thy after shock, Manassas, share.”
