Famous quotes containing the words soldiers and/or sailors:

    “As soldiers we have few saving graces. Perhaps our willingness to die for what we believe in is all that matters.”
    —Leo V. Gordon, U.S. screenwriter, and Arthur Hiller. Col. Harker (Nigel Green)

    “All sailors pause to watch a steamer, and shout in welcome or derision. In one a large Newfoundland dog put his paws on the rail and stood up as high as any of them, and looked as wise. But the skipper, who did not wish to be seen no better employed than a dog, rapped him on the nose and sent him below. Such is human justice!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
