Famous quotes containing the words tenth and/or army:
“Of Ickworths boys, their fathers joys,
There is but one a bad one;
The tenth is he, the parsons fee,
And indeed he is a sad one.
No love of fame, no sense of shame,
And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
Without, all brass; within, all ass,
And the puppys name is Felly.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
“I declare Billy. I like you so much personally I wish I could vote for you. But bein a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, I just as leave cut my throat as to vote for a Democrat.”
