Winter Service Uniform

Famous quotes containing the words winter, service and/or uniform:

    All men hesitate
    Separately, always, seeing another year gone
    Frockcoated gentleman, farmer at his gate,
    Villein with mattock, soldiers on their shields,
    All silent, watching the winter coming on.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    The maples
    Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
    Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
