Troops Choice

Famous quotes containing the words troops and/or choice:

“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“We hold our hate too choice a thing
For light and careless lavishing.”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1936)
