Polish Troops

Famous quotes containing the words polish and/or troops:

“It is the art of mankind to polish the world, and every one who works is scrubbing in some part.”

“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children.

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
