Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    “I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me.”
    —Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882)

    “Did the kiss of Mother Mary
    Put that music in her face?
    Yet she goes with footstep wary,
    Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
