Famous quotes containing the words horse and/or artillery:
“The steed bit his master;
How came this to pass?
He heard the good pastor
Cry, ‘All flesh is grass.’”

“Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
