Famous quotes containing the word soldiers:

    “At the crash of economic collapse of which the rumblings can already be heard, the sleeping soldiers of the proletariat will awake as at the fanfare of the Last Judgment and the corpses of the victims of the struggle will arise and demand an accounting from those who are loaded down with curses.”
    —Karl Liebknecht (1871–1919)

    “It is not enough that our life is an easy one. We must live on the stretch, retiring to our rest like soldiers on the eve of a battle, looking forward to the strenuous sortie of the morrow.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Next year we shall be living in a country
    That brought its soldiers home for lack of money.”
