Famous quotes containing the words british and/or soldiers:

    Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over—except when they are different.
    Nancy Banks-Smith, British columnist. Quoted in Guardian (London, July 21, 1988)

    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)
