Thousand Rebels

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or rebels:

    A crime persevered in a thousand centuries ceases to be a crime, and becomes a virtue. This is the law of custom, and custom supersedes all other forms of law.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Now boys, remember you are the Twenty-third, and give them hell. In these woods the Rebels don’t know but we are ten thousand; and if we fight, and when we charge yell, we are as good as ten thousand, by God.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
