Famous quotes containing the words tenth and/or army:
“Of Ickworths boys, their fathers joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parsons fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppys name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, Give me the co-ordinates.... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
