Famous quotes containing the words war and/or service:

    “... War is for everyone, for children too.
    I wasn’t going to tell you and I mustn’t.
    The best way is to come uphill with me
    And have our fire and laugh and be afraid.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    But when with moving accents thou
    Shalt constant faith and service vow,
    Thy Celia shall receive those charms
    With open ears, and with unfolded arms.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
