Famous quotes containing the words navy and/or service:
“I call to mind the navy great
That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
And how the boistous winds did beat
Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
Appeased the gods that them withstood.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
