Famous quotes containing the words soldiers and/or troops:

    When soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle- field, they have all one rank in my eyes.
    Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821)

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
