Famous quotes containing the words special, constabulary, border and/or campaign:
“I don’t like to be idle; in fact, I often feel somewhat guilty unless there is some purpose to what I am doing. But spending a few hours—or a few days—in the woods, swamps or alongside a stream has never seemed to me a waste of time.... I derive special benefit from a period of solitude.”

A policeman’s lot is not a happy one.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“Liberal hopefulness
Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”

“Dianne’s not one of the boys, but she’s not one of the girls, either.”
