Famous quotes containing the words constabulary and/or historic:

    When constabulary duty’s to be done,
    A policeman’s lot is not a happy one.

    If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
