Famous quotes containing the words spanish and/or army:

    Ferdinand De Soto, sleeping
    In the river, never heard
    Four-and-twenty Spanish hooves
    Fling off their iron and cut the green,
    Leaving circles new and clean
    While overhead the wing-tips whirred.
    Mark Van Doren (1894–1973)

    I’m the boss, you’re an idiot. You’re the boss, I’m an idiot.
    —Russian army saying, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
