Veterans Peace

Famous quotes containing the words veterans and/or peace:

“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Plead, Sleep, my cause, and make her soft like thee,
That she in peace may wake and pity me.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
